Hi ,

Is there any way of displaying different colors on text strings ?

Thanks

Yes.  You can create a property node from your control/indicator, and then text->text colours->text colour, and you can wire any colour box constant or hex colour to that.

You can manually highlite part of the string or one character and set its color, and repeat for other parts of the same string.  But I don't think you can do this programatically.

Just saw Novatron's answer.  That applies to the whole string.  Are you wanting to display one string with different color characters?  If so, see my answer.  If you want different strings to be of different colors, and all the characters in one string be the same color, use property nodes as Novatron suggested.

If you want multiple colors (or bold, italic etc) then you can use the text->selection start and selection end and then use the font properties. I have attached a small example.

How about that!  I learn something new every day.
