Hello,

i have a question about changing the text of an existing widget. I am using Ogre 1.6 and QuickGUI_8_12.

For example the QuickGUI::Label class has different setText methods that i can use to define a new text (erasing the old text). I look for a way to access/create different text segments for existing widgets in a way similar to the mechanism used during widget creation (textDesc).

For example i want to display the text "red green blue" using different colours for each word. i managed to accomplish this during widget creation but not for existing widgets.

I hope i haven't missed something obvious. Thanks in advance.

I think I missed this! I remember adding in a setText method that takes a vector of TextSegment objects, but I didn't add it to all text widgets. I'll add that to my list of things to complete for next release. I think an "addText" function would also make things more convenient.
