Change part of string (memo) color

guarasemini · September 25

Hi,

Is there any option or script to change color just a parte of string inside a memo ?

Ex.: my meno10 = 'Hello world'. I want to change the word "world" to blue (clBlue), just that word.

of course it's a meno with database field. Can i add some script or change something beforeprint ?

thx for all

Hello @ geometry dash lite, you can select the memo in the designer. Set the property:

MemoView.AllowHTMLTags := True;

Next, you can use HTML inside your string. In your OnBeforePrint event or wherever you're preparing the memo content, you can write something like:

procedure Memo10OnBeforePrint(Sender: TfrxComponent);

var

s: string;

begin

s := <YourDataSet>.FieldByName('YourField').AsString;

// Let's say s = 'Hello world'

s := StringReplace(s, 'world', '<font color="#0000FF">world</font>', []);

Memo10.Text := s;

end;

This changes only the word "world" to blue (#0000FF). You can also use color names like <font color="clBlue">.

Finally, you can enable interpretation of HTML tags. Make sure Memo10.AllowHTMLTags := True is set.
