[VB.NET] Multicolor label ?

[murderdoll]

Hello,

I want to have multiple colors in a label ( black and red for the required * star ).. I tried to create a RichTextBox with no border/ReadOnly=true/Enabled=False .. and format the text through code, it worked. But sadly I can't change the BackColor of "Disabled" Controls.

I can put multiple labels but that would be a bit silly. Anybody knows a solution for this?

If you are doing it through code, can't you enable the control, change the back colour, then disable it?

Try using the ForeColor property.

@thevink, nop, disabled controls automatically gets their backcolors changed.

@night_stalker_z, forecolor has nothing to do with backcolor ( it only changes the text color )

BackColor seems to work for me using a Label and Button. Maybe your calling it wrong?

[murderdoll]

Well I'm not sure how they operate on 'Buttons' and 'Labels'. If you read my first post again you'll realize my real problem which have to do with Multicoloring and Richtextbox's

The first sentence states you have a problem with a label and the second one states you tried to do it with a RichTextBox.

Are you looking for something like the Google logo where each letter is a different colour?

[murderdoll]

Yes, Kinda like that. Example: ( Name *: ). If you know a way to display such a thing in one label then please show me the code.

You might have to draw the text yourself or use a web control (can't remember the name but it lets you use HTML as the text).
