That's so obviously false I'm not even going to argue

Of course you can, maybe not in the way you want though.
If you want an application that does exactly what you want in (almost - there are always some restrictions) all circumstances then go and learn java or .net or some other full blown programming language and write your application in that.
It'll take you a lot longer to write but you'll get more control.
Forms is a relatively quick way of creating screens that allow you to query and modify data in oracle databases. It does a lot of stuff for you - like locking and transactional control, which you'd have to code yourself in java or .net.
And because it does a lot of stuff for you it also comes with certain restrictions on what you can and can't do.
If you can't live with those restrictions then you are using the wrong tool.

Dear,
first you create a display item and assign a Character String value, which you want show like a TEXT.After that you use
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY built-in with change FOREGROUND COLOR
by using VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE properties.
Or you can use DISPLAY_ITEM built-in with VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE properties.
Regards,
Tamzidul Amin.
