label in a child gui

[monte]

Hello, I can't figure this out. I want to create a small child gui within a parent gui containing a label. My label isn't displaying it's text. Please help my ignorance.

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

;parent gui
$doc = GUICreate("", 333, 750, 686, 1)
  GUISetBkColor(0xffffff)

;conditions
 $currentConditions = "Snow this morning will become heavy at times this afternoon. Some sleet may mix in. High 31F. Winds E at 10 to 20 mph. 6 to 10 inches of snow expected."

  $conditions = GUICtrlCreateLabel($currentConditions, 70, 25, 750, 15)
  GUICtrlSetColor(-1,0x000000) ; black
  GUICtrlSetTip(-1,"Current Weather Conditions")

;display parent gui
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $doc)

;child gui, static label displaying text "Conditions: "
  $condLabelGui = GUICreate("", 60, 15, 0, 25,$WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_MDICHILD, $doc)
  $condLabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Conditions: ", 2, 25, 58, 13)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $condLabelGui)

While 1
 ;scroll conditions label
    scrollconditions()

  $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
  Switch $nMsg
    Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
    Exit
  EndSwitch

  sleep(1000)
WEnd

func scrollConditions()
  While 1
    For $x = 100 to -600 step -2
       ControlMove ($doc,"",$conditions, $x, 25)
       Sleep(30)
    Next
    exitloop
  WEnd
endfunc

try this.

$condLabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Conditions: ", 2, 2, 58, 13)

your label top is 25 when the GUI is only 15 height, so its not showing.

Geez, that's what I get for copying my $conditions label from the parent gui into the child gui (and thinking too much about the partent gui and not enough about the child gui). Thanks, Tomb!
