Specify an individual word color

[#1]

Is it possible in QV to specify different font colors in the same line of text?

Thanks for your feedback.

we can do in QV but it needs some ridiculous amount of effort.

post the text content.

Thanks

This is what I'm after - a menu with green square and black type indicating item is selected. Otherwise everything is gray.

What I have now is (for one menu entry) a black version (ON) and a gray version (OFF) of the text, plus a green version (ON) and a gray version (OFF) of the square. Presently each of these 4 elements is an individual text object, scripted to turn on or off when that category is selected or not.

I'm thinking it would be nice if I could have (instead of 4 elements) just one element -all text - with a special character (glyph) for the square, scripted to be either ON or OFF.  The ON version would need to have 2 colors in the same text string (green square, black text).

Thanks for your input.

Are you using a list box or text objects.

M sorry i am a bit confused by your explanation and the attached picture.

or are looking for something like this.

edit : as rob said, in Qv its possible this way

i am not sure what exactly you looking for.

If you use a listbox with the LED selection style (presentation pane), you'll get almost the exact visual effect with no effort.

The list box may work. I was doing text objects to have a little more control over size of square, color, number of items in list, etc.

If I do use the listbox, and it's drawing from a list of 100 items, if I only want to show 10 specific items in the list (not any 10, but 10 specific items), how do I do that?

Thanks.

to filter out values in a list box you can use PICK(Match()) function.

you can specify what value you want to display(specific values instead of random values).

Example :

put the below expression in the list box's expression.

=pick(wildmatch(Revenue,'*Alcohol*','*Bond*'),'Alcohol','Bond')

.

then you would see.

Please close the thread as answered if you got what you looking for.

I don't think the pick() is required unless you want to change the values. You could just use:

=if(wildmatch(Revenue, 'Alcohol','Bond'), Revenue)
