Text Color in TextField class
bysreg
Member
Hello,
I noticed in the Gideros Documentation, that textfield class has setTextColor function but it lacks the ability to change some word in the text to a certain color. Is there some way that i can achieve this elegantly ? (or has anybody built a gideros library for that ?). Must be nice if we can put some html code there to format the text.
Thanks

You could use my old bmfont lib here http://github.com/nascode/BMFont
It predate official bmfont support of Gideros. So it will be less performant. But in exchange you could change color of certain words in a sentence. And you have access to each letter bitmap for animation purpose.
look at the example here https://github.com/nascode/BMFont/blob/master/examples/basic/main.lua

On this topic i previously done some improvement in textwrap class. (Using ttf fonts)
For details see the topic please. It is not %100 complete but hope it will help you.

Ok here is my work so far.
1-I switched to @atilim 's version of Textwrap2 class and added alignment,linespacing,letterspacing,defaultcolor change and special coloring of rows properties.
Here is the example of the init function
text = text to show on screen
areaWidth = textarea width on screen
areaHeight = textarea height on screen
lineSpacing = text's line spacing
letterSpacing = text's letter spacing
align = Supporting "left","right" or "center" by default it is "left" alligned.
font =ttf font to be used
mainColor = text's main color by default black
color1@" signs will be omitted from the text.
