Multi color string

[Tomi]

Hi Forum,

I would like to know that the following phenomenon is a "feature" or "bug".

I select a part of string and set the color with property nodes. This works well, I can make a rainbow text. But when I modify the string (and update the terminal) then the whole string is recoloured automatically with the colour of first character.

I'd like to create a display where the text is continuosly updated, scrolles and different part of the string is coloured/highlighted. If the above mentioned method is not efficient can one show me the right way?

Hi Tomi,
I think it's a "feature" or to be more precise a limitation by design. The same happened to me in LV7.0 when I tried to change the font for a part of the string, to display an alpha or beta symbol: reassigning the string completely reset the font settings.
Unfortunately I have no great suggestion for you; maybe replacing the string indicator with a 2D table may help.

I have done something similar using the Picture control
