I've worked out how to do this, with luck it works for what you're trying to do.<br>
<br>
Here is an example:<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
(defun color-text-field (ink)<br>
(let ((pane (find-pane-named *application-frame* 'text-field)))<br>
;; The Goatee screen area keeps track of its own foreground color.<br>
(setf (goatee::foreground-ink (climi::area pane)) ink)<br>
;; The cursor is still drawn in foreground ink of the sheet-medium.<br>
(setf (medium-foreground pane) ink)<br>
;; Now force repaint of the sheet<br>
(repaint-sheet pane (sheet-region pane))))<br>
<br>
<br>
(defun red-text-field (gadget)<br>
(color-text-field +red+))<br>
<br>
(defun green-text-field (gadget)<br>
(color-text-field +green+))<br>
<br>
(define-application-frame colored-text-editing ()<br>
()<br>
(:panes<br>
(text-field :text-field)<br>
(red-button :push-button :activate-callback 'red-text-field :label "Redify")<br>
(green-button :push-button :activate-callback 'green-text-field :label "Greenicate"))<br>
(:layouts<br>
(default<br>
(vertically ()<br>
text-field<br>
(horizontally ()<br>
red-button<br>
green-button)))))<br>
<br>
<br>
