textbox color

[ariel81]

is it possible to have two colors for a textbox?

e.g: a textbox named textbox1
upon form load the textbox1 will be filled with two colors, green at the top half and red at the bottom half

Not That I know of.

One way to do this would be to use an image behind the text box. Where your image is gradiented from top to bottom.

any one else?

The image route with the text box on top, set to transparent, is about the only way I know about. There could be some ActiveX controls out there that someone has created, but I hate using ActiveX controls because inevitably there will be a references problem with someone's computer.
