Change label color issue

[charon]

Is there some way to change a GUI label background color from green to red  after returning from a function?  I tried using

GUICtrlSetData($SNR, $COLOR_RED) ; change label bkcolor doesn't work

expandcollapse popup

myGUI()

Func myGUI()

    ;$delayset = 2000

GUICtrlSetBkColor()

same as you are doing for the $DSInput in your code.

Something like this? 

I'm using a button to trigger the function I wrote just for a quick example, but the important part is toggling the boolean flag variable in there from false to true, and that will call whatever you need once you have it set to true. 

**Edit I realize using a button to set a value and then using that value to call a function is redundant I'm assuming you will set the flag to true with something other than a button. Once the message loop sees the true "if" statement it will fire whatever you need.

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>

$bMyFlag = False

$hgui = GUICreate("test", 300, 300, -1, -1)
$cBtn_1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("run function", 15, 50, 130, 20)
$cLabel_1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("DS " , 20, 115, 30, 20) ; first cell 70 width
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0x00FF00) ; -1 targets the last created control
GUISetState()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $msg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            exit

        Case $cBtn_1
            $bMyFlag = True
    EndSwitch
    if $bMyFlag then
        testing()
        $bMyflag = False ; resetting the flag back to false
    endif
WEnd

Func testing()
    ; do whatever else happens in your function
    GUICtrlSetBkColor($cLabel_1, 0xFF0000) ; setting color to Red
EndFunc
