You didn't show the code that creates the TextCtrl. Is it something
like this:
self.output = wx.TextCtrl(myFrame, -1, style=wx.TE_MULTILINE |
wx.TE_RICH2)
On my platform, styling the text doesn't work for single line
TextCtrl's(which seems kind of stupid), and on Windows I think you are
required to specify wx.TE_RICH2 to style the text. This following
code colors the entered text red for me:
--------
import wx
myApp = wx.App(False)
myFrame = wx.Frame(None, -1, title="Test")
panel = wx.Panel(myFrame, -1)
my_tc = wx.TextCtrl(myFrame, -1, style=wx.TE_MULTILINE | wx.TE_RICH2)
my_tc.SetDefaultStyle(wx.TextAttr("red") ) #wx.RED works too
myFrame.Show()
myApp.MainLoop()
