Yeah, I'm afraid you're right. I don't see any way set set a property on a range of characters

LC field instead.

Thanks for pointing me to "selectedRange".
put mobileControlGet ("field1", "selectedRange") into myTest

mobileControlSet "field1", "textColor", "255,0,0"
This doesn't work because all text will be colored and not just the
selectedRange.
greetings,
William

I think you want "selectedRange" which returns the start index and the length of the text
