Summary: Text color in wx.TextCtrl

Initial Comment:
This cose does not work under platform Win32 XP:
     attr =  wx.TextAttr()
     attr.SetTextColour(wx.RED)
     b = self.SetDefaultStyle(attr)
(where self is a wx.TextCtrl not multiline).
In fact b == False and the text color does not change in red.
The same happens with the code
    b = self.SetStyle(0, len(text), attr)

On the contrary this other code
    self.SetForegroundColour(wx.RED)
works fine.

What about amending the documentation?

Sorry, what is there to amend? The documentation already says:

Multi-line text controls support the styles, i.e. provide a possibility to
set
colours and font for individual characters in it (note that under Windows
{\tt
wxTE\_RICH} style is required for style support).

IMO this is clear enough.
