Hi Dmitry,

If you are ONLY requesting a "text-coloring" solution, I alas expect that you will NOT find a decent solution within the VFP world:-(

If the question is larger and could be restated as "what are the solutions I could use within VFP to enhance my UI in a simple and granular way?" I'd propose you consider what I have been doing for the last couple of years: build UI elements "on the fly" from scratch with an external party such as GDI - or any alternative that can produce bitmaps fast and clean - and feed them win in VFP picture controls with pictureval. CPUs are now so fast, raster-image building speed is now bordering to nil.

The latter solution has worked for me quite well.

I can feed my forms with improved widgetry without resorting to awkward ocx-es or clumsy html controls. Of course this is still VFP. No dotnet based-wizardry. But this is in my opinion certainly a workable trick!

My .02 cents, Daniel
