When I was working on a project trying to find examples of label styles to learn how to use them because the Help File and the forum did not provide that many examples for most of the styles that I found and wanted to use. So I asked a few questions on the forum and experimented with the controls and styles and now I want to share with you what I've learned for a reference and a simple learning tool.

1. How to create and color label borders.

2. How to use the styles FRAMES - $SS_BLACKFRAME and RECTANGLES - $SS_BLACKRECT to display text.

3. How to create a sunken in and rasied up label.

There are 15 example labels that can be easily modified and incorporated into your projects.

I'm trying to simplify the label examples to make them easier to modify and incorporate into your projects.

Update: 9/25/2008 v1.1 --- Added the Function Multi-use - with examples.

Update: 9/26/2008 v1.1 --- Added hide/show label (not working right)

If you have comments or suggestions to make better or easier labels reply away!

    To use multiple instances of the same label or multiple labels with Different Control Styles and Differnet Locations.
    Now supports "ALL LABEL" Control Styles! Some examples:

    SS_ETCHEDHORZ, $SS_ETCHEDVERT, $SS_ETCHEDFRAME  
    is demostrated below with a function.
    
    For this function I'm trying to figure out a work around for:
        1. hide/show if you show label then cant hide & want work with varible $LB_1 but will work with -1
        2. change information can chage data use -1 but want change if use varible $LB_1
        
        Solution: use of a ini file read/right

XampLabel Styles version 1.1

Update: 9/26/2008 v1.1 --- Added hide/show label (not working right)

For the function below I'm trying to figure out a work around for

1. If the label is showing when the program starts I can't figure out how to hide it in the script using a variable.

2. Can't figure out how to change the data of the label using a variable.

I think that I might be able to get this to work using a ini file but I'd rather not if there is another way.

If you have comments or suggestions to make better or easier labels reply away all help is appreciated!
