Change the colour of a StaticText, wxPython

Question

I need to make a StaticText red, what should I use?

Answer 1

Here it is

import wx

app=wx.PySimpleApp()
frame=wx.Frame(None)
text=wx.StaticText(frame, label="Colored text")
text.SetForegroundColour((255,0,0)) # set text color
text.SetBackgroundColour((0,0,255)) # set text back color
frame.Show(True)
app.MainLoop()

Answer 2

This should work:

text.SetForegroundColour(wx.Colour(255,255,255))

If you are using it inside the panel or frame's class then:

self.text.SetForegroundColour(wx.Colour(255,255,255))

wx.Colour takes RGB values which can be used for different colours.

Answer 3

Depending on which color you would need to set, look into SetForegroundColour() or SetBackgroundColour() method.
