Hi,

Quick question: is it possible to change the text colour of a Text Field (not Text Area)? I would use a text area it's just I don't want the users to be able to have multiple lines in the text box.

Thanks

Seb

Triforce Guardian, I think this relates to MaxGUI.
Seb, I had a quick look and couldn't find a way to do it
with textfield. Might be a workaround but I didn't check that close.

There isn't an option for it in the code as far as I can see, but it looks like it might be possible to add (certainly for win32) with WM_CTLCOLOREDIT
