Clickable button ontop of label?

[Lope]

How do you get GUIGetMsg() for a button ontop of a label?

If I create the button after the label it displays the button ontop of the label as you'd expect.

Problem is I can't click it unless I disable the label.

But if I disable the label, the label text goes grey. (setting the color doesn't work.

Any ideas?

Example

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 633, 454, 192, 114)
$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("The dog (Canis lupus familiaris[3] and Canis lupus dingo[1][2]) is a domesticated form of the gray wolf, a member of the Canidae family of the order Carnivora. The term is used for both feral and pet varieties. The dog was the first animal to be domesticated, and has been the most widely kept working, hunting, and companion animal in human history. The word 'dog' may also mean the male of a canine species,[4] as opposed to the word 'bitch' for the female of the species.", 104, 216, 464, 153)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button1", 288, 224, 75, 25, $WS_GROUP)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        case $Button1
            msgbox(0,"","clicked")
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Lope,

Or you can remove the forced $SS_NOTIFY style from the label so that it no longer is a clickable control - it the overlapping active controls that confuse AutoIt.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>

$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 633, 454, 192, 114)
$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("The dog (Canis lupus familiaris[3] and Canis lupus dingo[1][2]) is a domesticated form of the gray wolf, a member of the Canidae family of the order Carnivora. The term is used for both feral and pet varieties. The dog was the first animal to be domesticated, and has been the most widely kept working, hunting, and companion animal in human history. The word 'dog' may also mean the male of a canine species,[4] as opposed to the word 'bitch' for the female of the species.", 104, 216, 464, 153)
GUICtrlSetStyle(-1, $SS_LEFT)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button1", 288, 224, 75, 25)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        case $Button1
            msgbox(0,"","clicked")
    EndSwitch
WEnd

By explicitly setting the $SS_LEFT style we overwrite the default setting of $SS_LEFT and $SS_NOTIFY styles - read the Setting Styles tutorial in the Wiki for about this.

YOU GUYS ARE THE ULTIMATE!!!!!!!

+KARMA!

November: I was simplifying when I gave the example with the button. My actual implementation

It probably should have been one thread. I just wanted to keep the question simple and to the point.

Thanks!!
