is there any way to change the font color of a label?

Take a look at the Foreground Color property.

ahh nice thanks Owen

Make sure you save the change, then reload the project in AutoCAD.

If you can attach the files, someone can take a look.

sure can

if you view the odcl file its the colored text is located in form3 in the modal dialogs

if you run the program and click on the button that says "release"
that will bring up the dialog that the colored text should appear on

thanks

The label displays red as expected for me.

When I tested with 6.0.0.16, I didn't get Red, when I tested with 6.0.0.20 I did get Red.
What version are you on? I'm guessing a bug was fixes between these versions?
I also get "error: Automation Error. Out of range" when I hit the "Release" button...

I've also noticed your "delete_confirm" & "merge_confirmation" forms are pretty much message boxes.
Do you know about the {2} function?

hi Barry,

im using version 6.0.0.15 so maybe thats why the text isnt red.

ill have to update the files to a newer version.

yes i know about the message boxes but using the ones i made, after you press the yes or no they do a function according to the response.

thanks for checking it out.

The Messagebox also gives return values:


(setq YesNo (dcl_MessageBox "Do you want to do this?" "Warning" 5 3 nil))
(if (= YesNo 6)
  (DoYesStuff)
  (DoNoStuff)
)

OR


(if (= 6 (dcl_MessageBox "Do you want to do this?" "Warning" 5 3 nil))
 (DoYesStuff)
 (DoNoStuff)
)

Return Values   Button
1
2
3
4
5
6
7


i didnt know that. cool
ill look into that

thanks again
