Change Color of Say
Posted: Wed Jan 13, 2010 02:45 PM

I build my Windows at runtime, i.e. I don't use resources. I have a windows with a number of SAY objects, for example:

@ nTop, nLeft SAY oSay PROMPT "Prompt" SIZE nClientWidth, nFontHeight FONT oFont BORDER PIXEL CENTER COLOR CLR_BLACK, CLR_WHITE UPDATE

I already use

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

oSay:SetText("Something Else")

quite successfully.

But I also need to change either the Text or Background Color of the SAY.

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

oSay:SetColor(CLR_GREEN, CLR_BLUE)

does not exist.

I have tried

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

SetTextColor(oSay:hWnd, nRGB(CLR_GREEN))

but that does not seem to do anything.

And

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

REDEFINE SAY oSAY COLOR CLR_GREEN, CLR_BLUE

gives a method not defined error.

Can somebody point me in the right direction.

It should work fine.

Well how strange, I am sure I tried it first.

Many thanks for making me go back and try it again, I have spent quite some time trying to figure how to do something that should have been simple, to now find it was simple all the time. lol

Happy New Year
