Function Reference

GUICtrlSetBkColor

Sets the background color of a control.

GUICtrlSetBkColor ( controlID, backgroundcolor )

 

Parameters

controlID The control identifier (controlID) as returned by a GUICtrlCreate... function.
backgroundcolor The RGB color to use.

 

Return Value

Success: Returns 1.
Failure: Returns 0.

 

Remarks

Only Label and Progress controls can currently be colored.

Progress controls cannot be painted if the "Windows XP style" is used.

Earlier versions of AutoIt (prior to v3.0.102) used the BGR format for defining color - newer versions use RGB by default but this can be changed using the ColorMode option.
