Emoticons & colour problem...

[Dixie]

I have a problem that I cannot work out how to get around it… I have been scratching my head for a while on this and am drawing a blank.

In the image below you can see two cards… they are from the same stack.. The card on the left has a UITextView Control and into it I can add text, change its color and add emoticons… Everything works fine, I can save the messages to a file and get them out again…

The card on the right is displaying a list in a regular liveCode field (this is only half built) …. colouring the lines of text is no problem… but I can’t preserve the colours of the emoticons… Have you any idea how I could go about doing this ?

Eventually... I have managed to sort out the text and emoticons problems I was having...
Just in case anyone might be interested, I had to take the content out of a multiline input control.. place it into a UITextfield control... take a snapshot of the 'message' that was then all on one line and then place the snapshot images into individual groups and throw a scroller on top... not a LC field in sight...
