AFAIK, You can use -foreground[r,g,b] and -background[r,g,b] when you create the textfield. (r,g,b is colour values 0 to 255) but they cant be changed. One work around idea would be to make two textfields, then hide and show each to change, you would have to keep the text in sync. JohnR

I ran the colors.gpl script from the PerlWin32Samples suite. This script does not change the foreground color of the textfield after selecting a different color. Can anybody help me with this one?
