How to change color of "Edit text" in the Gui

Well, I was programming my interface and it has various input data, in specific case, depending on input's value, my GUI shows in answer a string. I'm trying to show this text with other color, to call attention to this information, I tried to use some If programing but doesn't work, the answer always shows the same color.

Guys, Could you help me on this problem?

I'll show here for you understand what i'm saying

if ha==0 
    cabs1 = 'VÁCUO'; 
    set(handles.CABS,'string',cabs1);
end

I need to show this text VACUO in red, help me plz;

Thanks

Foreground property.

YEah, I know this, but I need the color red only when the ha==0, in the another case, the color came back from original color

[Walter Roberson]

orig_color = get(handles.CABS, 'foreground');
...
if ha == 0
  cabs1 = 'VÁCUO'; 
  set(handle.CABS, 'string', cabs1, 'Foreground', [1 0 0]);
else
  set(handle.CABS, 'Foreground', orig_color);
end
drawnow();

What happened instead?

Have you confirmed that the body of the "if" is being entered?

I used 'ForegroundColor' instead of 'Foreground' and it did change color.
