Hi all, I would like to change the color of a specific text item in my gui but am unsure how to do this.

 

Here's how I make the text:

Gui, Add, Text, y%yPos% x%xPos% vSelectASegment, Select a Segment

 

I can change the string using this command:

guiControl, , SelectASegment, Select a Segment - Updated!

 

Does anyone know the command to change the color of that text item?

 

Thank you for your help.

Gui, Add, Text, xm ym w80, Black Text
Gui, Font, cDA4F49
Gui, Add, Text, xm y+20 w80, Red Text
Gui, Font
Gui, Add, Text, xm y+20 w80, Black Text
Gui, Show, AutoSize

Thank you, jNizM. Your example demonstrates how to add new text of different colors. However, do you know how to change the color of existing text?

 

I have already prepared a GUI. I have a text item which is black. I would like to change the color to red if certain conditions are met.

 

I appreciate your help with this.
