Text Not Transparent at Second Level

[charvi]

Big problem here. The labeltext is not transparent at the second level, in the function _Popup_ in the example.

Question: How to make it transparent like in first level ?

$h_Popup = GUICreate("", 500, 500, 0, 0, $WS_POPUP, $ws_ex_transparent, $h_WinMain)

You had GUISetState() at wrong place,

Indeed, thanks Zedna. But why is the second label not over the picture? Do we need WM_PAINT here too, to have the same effect as the first label?
