Change Text Colour within field

[bernie321]

Hi

Is it possible to highlight/change the txt colour of specific words that appear within the text of a string field in crystal 10?

For example if I wanted to turn the colour of the text 'Fox' in a field that returned "The quick brown fox."

Any advice would be much appreciated

Thanks

You can do it by using a combination of the Replace function, and setting the Text Interpretation of the formula to HTML text. Using your example, you would begin by creating a formula:

//@ColorText
StringVar x := "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog";
Replace(x,"fox","<font color = red>fox</font>");

Drag the formula onto the report canvas > right click > Format Field > Paragraph tab > set Text Interpretation to HTML Text.
