Hello,

Can I somehow differentiate text in a controlTextbox?

For example I want some of the text to be bold/different color/underlined/any differernt and some of it regular in one textbox?

Kodi UI labels support BBcode-like text formatting tags. I can't show an example right now from a tablet but look into the Kodi Wiki.

I wish there is more but afaik, only bold, italic and color are supported.
link is here.

quick copy/pasta:

• $INFO[ListItem.Title,prefix,postfix] - for specifying an info label.
  
• $LOCALIZE[12345] - for specifying a localized string.
  
• $ADDON[script.music.foobar 12345] - for specifying a string provided by an addon.
  
• $NUMBER[] - for specifying a numerical value.
  
• [ B]bold[/B] - bold text. (use[B] not [ B])
  
• [ I]italics[/I] - italic text.
  
• [LIGHT]lighten[/LIGHT] - light weight text (Jarvis onward).
  
• [COLOR red]red text[/COLOR] - colored text.
  
• [UPPERCASE]uppercase text[/UPPERCASE] - all text is made uppercase e.g. UPPERCASE TEXT
  
• [LOWERCASE]lowercase text[/LOWERCASE] - all text is made lowercase e.g. lowercase text
  
• [CAPITALIZE]capitalized text[/CAPITALIZE] - first letter of every word is capitalized (Isengard onward) e.g. Capitalized Text [CR] - carriage return (line break).
  

many of these colors are recognized

Is it possible to use background color tags ([BGCOLOR]<color-value>[/BGCOLOR])?

[DiMag]

Excuse me, I meant <backgroundcolor>VALUE</backgroundcolor>
