Deleting a label and its colour

[furrycow]

Hey guys, i have two questions, but both involving the same thing so thought i might as well make them one post....

1. You know when you create a label..lets say to make it say, "hello", then you want to update that label, how would you go about doing so? Because if i create another label, say, "world", then in while loops it looks very messy as it keeps flickering between the two. Is there a way around this?

2.If you use a label on a tabbed screen they seem to be different colours. ie, the tab background is white, and the label background is a gone-off white/grey. Is there anyway to change either?

Many thanks.

GUICtrlCreateGroup("", -99, -99, 1, 1)

$LBLStatus = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Current Status:", 8, 8, 74, 17)
$LBLStatusResult = GUICtrlCreateLabel("-", 88, 8, 7, 17)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)


$m = GUIGetMsg()                
$LBLStatusResult = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Updating - Finding Terms", 88, 8, 500,  17)
$s = 0
GUICtrlSetData($PROFinding, $iNumLinks*5)

;code

For $oLink In $oLinks

;code

$m = GUIGetMsg()                
$LBLStatusResult = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Updating - Writing Terms", 88, 8, 500,  17)
$s = 0
GUICtrlSetData($PROWriting, $Writepc)

Next

$x=10
While $x < 60

;code

$m = GUIGetMsg()                
$LBLStatusResult = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Updating - Cleaning Terms", 88, 8, 500, 17)
$s = 0
GUICtrlSetData($PROCleaning, $verifypc)
$x=$x+1
WEnd

While $STNum<50

;code

$m = GUIGetMsg()
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Updating - Replacing Invalid Terms", 88, 8,500, 17)
$s = 0
GUICtrlSetData($PROReplacing, $replacpc)

$STNum = $STNum + 1
WEnd

All the ";code", is pretty much just the code processing all the stuff happening inbetween, and theres probs not enough lines in this box to put it all, but that would have nothing to do with the flickering of the labels.

Thanks

OK, i actually managed to figure out the flashing labels, by just taking them out of the loops, but the colour is still slightly different to the rest of the tabbed background...look at the last invalid term, you can see the colour is different.

Try

GUICtrlSetBkColor ($control, $GUI_BKCOLOR_TRANSPARENT)

Try

GUICtrlSetBkColor ($control, $GUI_BKCOLOR_TRANSPARENT)

Thats it! Cheers!
