How do I change the textcolor of the selected text in a native iOS field?

Thanks for pointing me to "selectedRange".

put mobileControlGet ("field1", "selectedRange") into myTest
-- answer myTest  //gives range 1,5
mobileControlSet "field1", "textColor", "255,0,0"

This doesn't work because all text will be colored and not just the
selectedRange.


greetings,

William
