Hi!

You can organize it in 2 ways:

1. For a single label - it is not possible. You will have to create as many labels as you have different characters with different colors. Then combine them into a single line of text by using TXTWidth()/FontMetrics() function to determine letter width.

2. Do not bother with VFP labels at all - create RTF control, format it properly, so it looks like a label (you will never get a transparency though). Then you can colour each character insite of RTF control text. Make it read-only and not enabled, so users will see it just as a label.

You can probably use a few other ActiveX for this purpose, for example, WEB Browser (in HTML format).

>I was looking for an idea how to create a class or method to parse a label's chars and have each one a different color, if at all possible.

The professional level of programmer could be determined by level of stupidity of his/her bugs

It is not appropriate to say that question is "foolish". There could be only foolish answers. Everybody passed period of time when knows nothing about something.
