I am using Jan Shenkel's PDF Library in a project, and need to display
negative numbers in a table in red.
It seems to be possible to affect the entire table, but how can I apply
color commands to a specific cell?
TIA,

Mark,
Thanks for the suggestion. I've typically done just that to color text. The
problem is, in this case, the field contains plaintext that is actual html, and
I need to be able to view it without it disappearing and modifying other text.
For example, a search could be done on, say, " John

If you can get by without setting the background color, try using the
htmlText property of the field, something like this:
on mouseUp
local tText
local tStrReplace
put the htmlText of field "Original" into tStrReplace
put "" \
& field "SearchField" &\
& "" into tStrReplace
Mike,
Thanks! You got me started with your first reply. I saw that it was grabbing
the first characters of the word, even if not what you wanted. For example, if
word was timebandit, but you wanted bandit, it selected "timeba". Also, I
messed up incrementing my offset, so it only got the fi
Last time. I swear. Really. Would help if I'd locate all the quirks before
posting, eh?
The problem with the last code is that if nothing is found it still hilites
from the beginning of the field for the number of chars in the search
string. So to fix that..
on mouseUp
set the wholematches to
Oops, me again. If you want to change the color of text anywhere in a
string, inside words or not, offset is the way to go. The code I sent..
well if you have the word "biggest" and search for g, it will hilite the b
because its the first letter of the word, and the length of the word being

Oh, my last response was in your second set of code that you was causing a
syntax error. The complete code is as follows.
on mouseUp
set the traversalOn of field "Results" to true
put the text of field Results into tResults
put the text of field "SearchField" into strSearch
put the len
Try changing your select to this:
select char 1 to tLength of word (tFramePos+tPreviousOffset) of field

This still isn't exactly what I want. Given search term of "http:" this will
change color of the entire word "http://somesite.com";. I only want to change
the color of what matches. Tried the following:
on mouseUp
set the traversalOn of field "Results" to true
put the text of field Resul

I've been using RunRev/LC since 2001, and this is the first time I have ever
heard about the selection function! Thanks Mike!
Love LC. Love this list.

you can "set the textcolor of the selection to red"
Be aware though, if you just have an insertion point in the field, and set
the textcolor of the selection to red, any typing done afterwards will be
red. If this isn't what you desire you'll probably want to check to see
what is selected so you
Is it possible to select text in a field and change the text or highlight color
of JUST the selected text? I realize I could do this with HTML ( such as
) but what if you are trying to highlight and display
HTML source, and thus the field is plaintext so that HTML commands display
