Label with border display no text

[jfcby]

Hi,

My label is not showing text or background color is not changing. I've looked the Help File under "GUICtrlCreateLabel", Controls Styles Appendix, and research the Forum but did not find a solution to my problem.

How does the code need to be modified to display the text in the label and change the background color?

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

LabelEx()

Func LabelEx()
Local $msg

GUICreate("My GUI state"); will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

GUICtrlCreateLabel("aaaa", 125, 100, 186, 95, $SS_BLACKFRAME)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xFC0000)

GUISetState()

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
While 1
$msg = GUIGetMsg()

If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
WEnd
EndFunc

Thank you for your help,

Remove $SS_BLACKFRAME

Edit:

If you have to have the frame:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

LabelEx()

Func LabelEx()
    GUICreate(\"My GUI state\"); will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered
    _GUICtrlCreateLabel_BlackFrame(\"aaaa\", 125, 100, 186, 95)
    GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xFF0000)

    GUISetState()
    ; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
    While GUIGetMsg() <> -3
    WEnd
EndFunc

Func _GUICtrlCreateLabel_BlackFrame($s_text, $i_left, $i_top, $i_width = -1, $i_height = -1, $i_style = -1, $i_exstyle = -1)
    GUICtrlCreateLabel(\"\", $i_left - 1, $i_top - 1, $i_width + 2, $i_height + 2, 0x07)
    Return GUICtrlCreateLabel($s_text, $i_left, $i_top, $i_width, $i_height, $i_style, $i_exstyle)
EndFunc

How do you put a color border around the label but no background color? I thought you used "$SS_BLACKFRAME".

Same concept:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

LabelEx()

Func LabelEx()
    GUICreate("My GUI state"); will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered
    _GUICtrlCreateLabel_ColorBorder(0xFF0000, "aaaa", 125, 100, 186, 95)

    GUISetState()
    ; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
    While GUIGetMsg() <> -3
    WEnd
EndFunc

Func _GUICtrlCreateLabel_ColorBorder($i_color, $s_text, $i_left, $i_top, $i_width = -1, $i_height = -1, $i_style = -1, $i_exstyle = -1)
    GUICtrlCreateLabel("", $i_left - 1, $i_top - 1, $i_width + 2, $i_height + 2)
    GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xFF0000)
    Return GUICtrlCreateLabel($s_text, $i_left, $i_top, $i_width, $i_height, $i_style, $i_exstyle)
EndFunc
