2295.0. "Manipulating Simple text" by MASTIC::FARRELL (Money, there is no substitute!) Fri Feb 16 1990 16:46

Is there a way to manipulate a part of a simple text widget?

i.e. Have just a word in the middle of the widget a different font/color
     than the rest of the text?

just wondering...

No, but the VList widget has that functionality.  Since VList is not a
TextEdit widget like SText is, it does not let the user edit the text
directly.  But, if you are just interested in displaying textual information,
VList might do the trick.  Send me mail if you want more.

2295.2Maybe compound string text widget could helpLEOVAX::TREGGIARISat Feb 17 1990 07:514
    The compound string text widget allows a string to contain text in
    multiple fonts, but not multiple colors.
