I'm looking for a way to display multiple colors in a single C#/.NET label. E.g the label is displaying a series of csv separated values that each take on a color depending on a bucket they fall into. I would prefer not to use multiple labels, as the values are variable length and I don't want to play with dynamic layouts. Is there a native support for this?
As an alternative, you might do this as rtf or html in a suitable control (such as WebBrowser). It would probably take a bit more resources that you'd ideally like, but it'll work fairly quickly.
If you are building your Windows app for people with XP and up, you can use WPF. Even if it's a Windows Forms app, you can add a WPF UserControl.
I would then use a Label, and set the "Foreground" property to be a gradient of colors.
Or, in Windows Forms (no WPF), you could just use a "Flow Panel", and then in a for loop add multiple Labels as segments of your sentense... they will all "flow" together as if it was one label.
