That must seem like an odd question, but the reason i ask, is that i need a field that can contain hyperlinks. I need to be able to change the color of those links based on their status. I need to be able to dynamically update the list of those links. I would like to be able to designate those links as sublinks of other links. At first I was looking into a third party "tree builder" software, however I am more of a student programmer and can't afford to shell out the cash for that software. (I am using the trial version of runrev and am trying to scrounge up the coin to buy a license). after hours of searching for anything with such a tree in it, it occured to me that if some one had written a simple web browser that i could butcher for the code, i could parse my links into an html file and view them with a modified version of such a browser.

Dear magice,

In the docs, you will find explanations about linkColor, linkHiliteColor and linkVisitedColor.

Best regards,

Yes, I found those properties, but they appear to effect every link in the text area. I need to be able to change the color of individual links so that there are several different colors within the same text box. In my project, they need to be different colors based on whether the link is complete, incomplete but exists, or does not exist yet.

This is very untested, but I know you can set the color of various objects to empty to it uses no (or the default) color.

May it be possible to use <font color=#rrggbb> tags around your link and set linkColor and the other properties of the field to empty?
