CString class holds just a string (array of characters). It doesn't have any color information associated with it.

How are you displaying the string ? As already mentioned by somebody else, CString is just a class containing data and doesn't have any relation with how it will displayed.

What you want is a different color for a word. You can only disable/enable windows and not words. Also as Rejeesh said, you cannot do that with a CString alone. You could use a control similar to a rich edit control and show one word with a different color.

If you are using the string in pDC->TextOut (...) you can do it as well by changing the font color, but you can't do it only depending on words, you will need different strings, so you print one, change the color and then print the next. this[^] or this[^]may be useful for you as well.

Sorry, but that isn't possible. Kindly buy and read a beginner level book on Windows programming.

One way to store colour information in a CString is to use HTML tags and then dump the string into a HTML enabled control. -or- Use RTF codes and dump into a Rich Edit Control.
