How to stop the flicker in GUI Window (with codes)

[longxx]

hi all

I am making a GUI window to show game status, this is what I have so far (only core codes)

I know I should use GUICtrlSetData... but after reading the F1 help file I couldnt figure how to apply it

can anyone just give me some example lines how to make this happen?

thanks.

While 1
    global $status = _getName($hMem)
    
    Select
        Case $status = 17
        GUICtrlCreatelabel("17: In Channel", 50, 33, 120, 20)
        Case $status = 13
        GUICtrlCreatelabel("13: Searching", 50, 33, 120, 20)
        Case $status = 15
    EndSelect
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

;Create a Label
$label1 = GUICtrlCreatelabel("17: In Channel", 50, 33, 120, 20)

;Modify the Label Data
GuiCtrlSetData($label1, "New Label Data - will replace 17: In Channel")

Thank you Airwolf, it's working fine !

EDIT:

After observing it for long time, I noticed the flicker is a LOT better than before, but since it's a lopp there is still slight change

is it way to make it only change when value is different? or is it unnecessary?

thanks

global $status, $status_old 

While 1
    $status = _getName($hMem)
        If $status <> $status_old Then
        GUICtrlSetData($label, $status & ": In Channel")
        $status_old = $status
    EndIf
        Sleep(100)
WEnd
