I'm trying to change the color of the text in the text control using the following code:

use warnings; use strict;
use Wx qw(:everything);

package MyApp;
use base 'Wx::App';
use Wx qw(:everything);

sub OnInit {

    my $frame = Wx::Frame->new( 
        undef,-1,'test', [0,0], [200,200] 
    );    
    my $Panel = Wx::Panel->new(
        $frame, -1, [0,0]
    );     
    my $text_control = Wx::TextCtrl->new( 
        $Panel, -1, "",[0,0],[200,200],wxTE_RICH|wxTE_MULTILINE 
    );    
    
    my $color1 = Wx::TextAttr->(wxRED);
    $text_control->SetDefaultStyle($color1);
    $text_control->AppendText("These are red characters\n");
    
    $frame->Show;
  
}

MyApp->new->MainLoop;

But Perl dies with this message: "Error while autoloading 'Wx::TextAttr' at D:\color.pl line 14": Where am I doing wrong? Any pointers? Thanks like always.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
