GUICtrlSetColor ( controlID, textcolor)

Parameters

controlID | The control identifier (controlID) as returned by a GUICtrlCreate... function.

Remarks

Only Label, Checkox, Group, Radio, Edit, Input, List, Listview, ListviewItem, Treeview, TreeviewItem, Graphic and Progress controls can currently be colored.
Progress controls cannot be painted if the "Windows XP style" is used.
Earlier versions of AutoIt (prior to v3.0.102) used the BGR format for defining color - newer versions use RGB by default but this can be changed using the ColorMode option.
