TextBox with color support

[Jivko1212]

What is the easiest way to use the RichTextBox functionality in Avalonia that allows for different colored text? Such text box can be used to display application logs for example with different lines having different color depending on the log level (Debug, Info, Error,Fatal).

Thanks

This is currently not supported but will be by this: #1950

@Gillibald looks like that PR is closed. Any updates on this?

Inlines support will come later this year

Hello,

Is there a way to colourize parts of text in a TextBox?
I managed to do that with Inlines and Runs in TextBlock, I would like to do with TextBox too.

Beside AvaloniaEdit or custom control? None I am aware of for the time being.

Would it be possible for TextBox to support Inlines? TextEditor is a bit too much for my use-case...

How could I make a custom control for that? Do you guys have an idea of where to start?

Inherit SelectableTextBlock and add the logic needed. Good luck :-)

I am closing this issue in favor of RichTextBox from #4625
It is planned to be implemented and will be available when it's ready.
