Rebar text colour problem

[JackDinn 1]

Hi,

Im looking to figure out how to have the text of an inputbox on a rebar proper black and not the grayed out colour it is by default. Iv tried using a label but the label wont stay in position when i resize the rebar.

heres some code from the help file that demonstrates what im on about here. (Iv remarked the offending line of code)

p.s. im actually using an edit control as an inputbox but the code bellow shows the same problem.

expandcollapse popup

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiReBar.au3>
#include <GuiToolBar.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <Constants.au3>

; Write message to memo
Func MemoWrite($sMessage = "")
    GUICtrlSetData($iMemo, $sMessage & @CRLF, 1)

any suggestions ?

Thx all.
