quick question about text color

[Guest]

this is a really basic question but i could not find the answer in the API
how do i change that color of some static text? like this one:

Code: Select all

env->addStaticText(L"Difficulty:", rect<s32>(50,150,140,170), true);

thanks

Process to answer this question for yourself...

1. What is the type of env in the code above?
2. Look at the documentation for that type.
3. What is the return type of the method addStaticText?
4. Look at the documentation for that type. You can do that by clicking the link to the type in the API docs you found in step 3.
5. See anything useful?

addStaticText returns a IGUIStaticText pointer create a variable to hold that pointer you then should be able to use setOverrideColor on that pointer.

That helps really much
But if there are hundreds of statictexts will you have to manipulate hundreds of pointers ? Is there a way to change the color of a gui element thru its ID?
