I've done it very recently with both the full release and the beta without issue... make sure you're including GUIConstants.au3, and may want to make sure that your casing is correct on the function calls... sometimes i run into issues where 'GuiCtrlSetData()' won't work, but 'GUICtrlSetData()' will...

I'm a newbie, so I cut and paste from the autit help in scite. Here's my gui window:

; Make my Window

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

OPt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 0) ; any substring will match

$WindowHandle = GUICreate ( "xxxxxxxx Automation" , 300 , 200 , 500, 500 ) ; W H L T

$Step1Flag = GUICtrlCreateLabel ( " ", 10, 20 , 20 ,15 ) ;L T W H

$Step1Text = GUICtrlCreateLabel ( "xxxxxxx", 40, 20 , 100 ,15 ) ;L T W H

$Step2Flag = GUICtrlCreateLabel ( " ", 10, 40 , 20 ,15 ) ;L T W H

$Step2Text = GUICtrlCreateLabel ( "xxxxxx", 40, 40 , 100 ,15 ) ;L T W H

$Step3Flag = GUICtrlCreateLabel ( " ", 10, 60 , 20 ,15 ) ;L T W H

$Step3Text = GUICtrlCreateLabel ( "xxxxxx", 40, 60 , 100 ,15 ) ;L T W H

$ActionReqd = GUICtrlCreateLabel ( " hoho ", 40, 200 , 100 ,15 ) ;L T W H

;GUICtrlSetColor ( $ActionReqd, 0xFF0000)

$StartButton = GUICtrlCreateButton ( "Start", 10, 100 , 40 ,20 ) ;L T W H

GUICtrlSetOnEvent ( $StartButton, "Startxxxx" )

$StopButton = GUICtrlCreateButton ( "Stop", 120, 100 , 40 ,20 ) ;L T W H

GUICtrlSetOnEvent ( $StopButton, "Stopxxxx" )

GuiSetState(@SW_SHOW)

WinSetOnTop ($WindowHandle, "", 1 )

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "killthis")

and here's the beginning of the Startxxx func that gets started when I push the Start button:

Func Startxxxx()

msgbox(4096,"Startxxxx", "got here")

If WinExists("The window I want") = 0 Then

GUICtrlSetData( $ActionReqd, "Start xxxxxx" )

WinWaitActive("The window I want")

Else

WinActivate("The window I want")

EndIf

msgbox(4096,"Startxxx", "found window")

etc.

I never get the text of $ActionReqd to change. I do get both msgboxes, so the code executes.

Damn. You don't know how often I stared at the parameters in the window def and compared them against the ones in the label def, without remembering that the parameters are reversed. This after carefully writing the meaning of the parameters in the comments.

Sorry.
