Hi, how can I highlight the text in yellow where it says Buy Profile?

Thanks.


DrawTextFixed("Profile Type", "Buy Profile",TextPosition.TopLeft);

Hello brucelevy,

Thanks for your post.

Thanks to member marty087 for providing the solution and link to the helpguide.

For clarity, methods such as DrawTextFixed usually have more than one overload associated with it which means that it can be called with different parameters. Your example would be the short form, marty087s example shows the longer form which includes the overloads for the coloring you are looking for.

In the case of DrawTextFixed there are only two overloads, the short and the long:

DrawTextFixed(string tag, string text, TextPosition textPosition)
OR
DrawTextFixed(string tag, string text, TextPosition textPosition, Color textColor, Font font, Color outlineColor, Color areaColor, int areaOpacity)

The helpguide shows the different overloads available to be used with each method.
