Labels changing color (not completely!)

[Vindicator209]

Ok, well, I was going to make a progressbar-like thing where there would be a blue text against a gray progress background, and the progress foreground would be blue, now i wanted to make the label so that once the blue progress made its way pas a part of the label, that part of the label would become grey(thus still readable)

I'm not sure if it's possible, but I figured I'd ask anyway, for future reference. Of course, all this could be avoided by simply making the label red or something in the first place, but what ever.

This is something like it maybe with just 2 labels.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>


Const $WS_EX_COMPOSITED = 0x2000000
$Form3 = GUICreate("Form3", 413, 298, 303, 219, -1, $WS_EX_COMPOSITED)
$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("progress-state-so-far", 50, 100, 0, 17)
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xbbbb00)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xff0000);
$Label2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("progress-state-so-far", 50, 100, 100, 17)
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xFFFFFF)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0x808080)
$but1 = GUICtrlCreateButton('GO',100,150,70,22)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)



While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $but1
            go()
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func go()
    For $n = 0 To 100
    ControlMove($Form3, '', $Label1, 50, 100, $n, 17)
    Sleep(50)
Next
For $n = 100 To 0 Step -1
    ControlMove($Form3, '', $Label1, 50, 100, $n, 17)
    Sleep(50)
Next
EndFunc
