1. There's no API for setting the field colors directly. They use the
UIFieldxxx colors enumerated in UIColor.h. I guess you could change
the UI colors on the fly, but that sounds risky.
2. If you just need to draw static multi-line text in color, the
routine to wrap/draw it is pretty simple. Something like (danger -
uncompiled code)
void TextBox(const Char* iText, const RectangleType* iBounds)
{
Coord curY = iBounds->topLeft.y;
while (*iText) {
UInt16 bytesThatFit = FntWordWrap(iText, iBounds->extent.x);
WinDrawChars(iText, bytesThatFit, iBounds->topLeft.x, curY);
curY += FntLineHeight();
iText += bytesThatFit;
}
}
