It's very easy!!

Right click on the Tmemo -->Wiev as Text

For the font color change Font.Color = clYellow,white ,Black ,Red

For the Background change Color =

Enjoy!

oh i forgot to say so the user can pick any colour he wants to user from the colour dialog on both the font and background colour i might ask on how to do the font size aswell not to sure yet. Can u make it abit more easyer to understand aswell so i can understand

Put a memo on a form. Then put three buttons on that form, one text box and one color dialog.

For the OnClick event handlers of the buttons, put this code :

change memo's background color :

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);

begin

// execute the color dialog

ColorDialog1.Execute();

// change memo's background color to the color that the user picked

Memo1.Color := ColorDialog1.Color;

end;

change memo's font color :

procedure TForm1.Button2Click(Sender: TObject);

begin

// execute the color dialog

ColorDialog1.Execute();

// change memo's font color to the color that the user picked

Memo1.Font.Color := ColorDialog1.Color;

end;

change memo's font size :

procedure TForm1.Button3Click(Sender: TObject);

begin

// change the memo's font size to the size entered in the textbox

Memo1.Font.Size := StrToInt(Edit1.Text);

end;
