since i have used oText and oCursor for highlighting a string from a document, i think i may not be able to use the same method to achieve the task.
i wonder if there's any method that can help in changing the color without using oCursor and oText
or is there any method that i can use another oText and oCursor apart from the previous? |

| You may have any number of text cursors and text objects (only one viewcursor) |

I do not think so . I assume that you would be putting the character in a TEXTFIELD control in the dialog ... this only allows a string and not a text object which is what you need to have character formatting.
You may have better luck with a FORM where the textbox control does allow for a text object. |
