Using a regular text-field, there's no way you can apply style to text.

You may want to use selection to mark text which is invalid, or use a Rich Text Editor, but it's using something huge for a very small need.

You should consider answer your own question then, as it might interest other members. – blue112 Aug 27 '13 at 08:09
