Unable to use SGR codes in TextBox #506

Closed Martmists-GH closed 3 years ago

Using "Sample \u001b[30mText" as text inside a field shows up as Sample [30mText While I am aware of TextGraphics, this is not a great solution when you want to use a scrollable buffer of colored text.

(EDIT: Replaced \u009b with \u001b, it differs based on the source used, but neither work)

Unfortunately the text box components do not support colored text or any other escape codes. You'll have to create your own component to do that. I believe someone contributed (read-only) labels that can do this but no interactable components.
