Multicolor text

[user4592357]

Hi

I have a string constructed this way:

const auto text = QString { "#%1%2%3%4" }
			.arg(QString::number(n), -15)
			.arg(someText, -45)
			.arg(symbol, -2)
			.arg(QString::number(someNumber), -5);

How can I make the %3 argument to be another color?

The text is set to a label, so if I put

QString { "#%1%2<font color=\"red\">%3</font>%4" }

all the styles of the label are gone.

What can I do?

@user4592357 Do you set the labels text for mat to rich text somewhere in you code?

setTextFormat(Qt::TextFormat)

[user4592357]

@kenchan yeah, doesn't help

Just to be clear, you do both mean/have tried setTextFormat(Qt::RichText), right?

[kenchan]

@JNBarchan Yes that is what I meant, and of course one should pass it Qt::RichText if you want it to understand rich text.

@kenchan
I know, but you can never be sure here what users are actually writing in their code in these cases :) @user4592357 may be fine for this, but others sometimes aren't....

@JNBarchan yes, i tried that.

and sorry to confuse you, of course i understood. if i didn't know what he meant, i'd just ask :)
