Labels

[Garrett19212]

How can i make a backround image also show behind a label, instead of it just behind white behind the label.

[Valuater]

like this

$my_GUI = guicreate("my Gui")

$my_pic = guicreatepic("c:\......

Guictrlsetstate($my_pic, $GUI_DISABLE)

good luck

I don't think thats what I need, i have a backround image, and i want it to also show behind the label, not create a specific backround image for the label.

Valuater basically gave you the what you needed

$my_GUI = guicreate("my Gui")

$my_pic = guicreatepic("c:\......

$my_lable = guicreatelabel("test",10,10,50,20,-1,$WS_EX_TRANSPARENT)

Guictrlsetstate($my_pic, $GUI_DISABLE)

you create your background image, then put what controls you want

then set the background to disabled, otherwise your controls won't work properly.

Didn't work, the color behind the labels are still grey.

works for me, image attached:

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

GuiCreate("MyGUI", 392, 323)
$Pic = GUICtrlCreatePic(@ScriptDir & "\thinker_wall_1024x768.jpg",0,0,392,323)
$Label_1 = GuiCtrlCreateLabel("This is my label", 150, 200, 170, 60,-1,$WS_EX_TRANSPARENT)
GUICtrlSetState($Pic,$GUI_DISABLE)
GuiSetState()
While 1
    $msg = GuiGetMsg()
    Select
    Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
        ExitLoop
    Case Else
    ;;;
    EndSelect
WEnd
Exit

i tested it, and yours didn't work.

Maybe it worked to you but maybe you don't understand what im asking.

Mine looks like yours, the grey box shows, i want the text to be on the backround image, with no grey box.

Edit: tested with 3.1.1 release version and beta, both work.

Ok downloaded the beta, but how do i "install" it, its in a zip. And when I try to run a script, gives me a list of programs to open it with, tried choosing the autoit.exe, but just opens notepad.

Ah, didn't know there was a exe for the beta, though it was another older beta version, didn't notice cuz of the ..
