Change text color in a label

General
1

Hey all,
I want to change the text color in the middle of a label to Red (for example) to signify a “reduction” in something.

For example:

Label1.Text = "This stat went down "+ (change color to Red) - variablename (change back to white) + " rest of text"

Is there a way to do this in Xojo natively?

Multiple labels might be a good workaround. AFAIK a label can only have one color.
(set by Label.TextColor)

Jeremy has a plugin for that

No idea how he does it though.

Alternatively use a canvas and draw the text yourself.

Best way is to use a canvas.
