This is what i want to add to a richedit object :

OBJECT LOADFILE,RICHEDIT1,lst.rtf
OBJECT FORMAT,RICHEDIT1,SETFONT,Arial,12,RED
OBJECT append,RICHEDIT1,COLOUR
OBJECT FORMAT,RICHEDIT1,SETFONT,Verdana,10,BLACK
OBJECT APPEND,RICHEDIT1,My text
OBJECT SAVEFILE,RICHEDIT1,lst.rtf

It won;t change and save the different colour for each line. Any ideas?

What you have to do is use the FORMAT SELECT command to select the first character in the line (even if there is no character there) it basically just sets the cursor pointer there so it knows where to start the new formating of colors/fonts. Take a look at the rather crude example I included with the vdsobj.

I still can't get it to work :

heres the code:

OBJECT LOADFILE,RICHEDIT1,lst.rtf
OBJECT FORMAT,RICHEDIT1,SETFONT,Arial,12,RED
OBJECT APPEND,RICHEDIT1,COLOUR @cr()
OBJECT COMMAND,RICHEDIT1,CLIPBOARD,SELECT,@len(@object(dlgtext,richedit1)),@len(@object(dlgtext,richedit1))
OBJECT COMMAND,RICHEDIT1,@cr()
OBJECT COMMAND,RICHEDIT1,SETFONT,Arial,10,BLACK
OBJECT APPEND,RICHEDIT1,Heres more text but different color and size
OBJECT SAVEFILE,RICHEDIT1,lst.rtf

I want to basicaly create a file, add a coloured line to it, save it, then repeat the process. Allowing different coloured lines of text.

Hi Nathan, you seem to have a very old version of VDSOBJ, because your using the OBJECT COMMAND which no longer exists in the current version. First download the new version of VDSOBJ, then use the following code:
