+\wxheading{wxTextCtrl styles}
+
+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). To use the styles you can
+either call \helpref{SetDefaultStyle}{wxtextctrlsetdefaultstyle} before
+inserting the text or call \helpref{SetStyle}{wxtextctrlsetstyle} later to
+change the style of the text already in the control (the first solution is
+much more efficient).
+
+In either case, if the style doesn't specify some of the attributes (for
+example you only want to set the text colour but without changing the font nor
+the text background), the values of the default style will be used for them.
+If there is no default style, the attributes of the text control itself are
+used.
+
+So the following code correctly describes what it does: the second call
+to \helpref{SetDefaultStyle}{wxtextctrlsetdefaultstyle} doesn't change the
+text foreground colour (which stays red) while the last one doesn't change the
+background colour (which stays grey):
+
