Setting label colors

[Comperio]

I've got a custom InstallOptions page that I'm trying to use with MUI which contains a label control that I'm trying to set the text color and font. I'm using SendMessage to change the font and it works fine. However, I can't seem to get the color to change.

Just to illustrate, I created a mock-up that just to see if I can get the color to work.

Here's my display function to in theory change the label text to red:

code:


Function CustomPage

  !insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_INITDIALOG "ioB.ini"

  pop $0

  GetDlgItem $1 $0 1200

  SendMessage $1 ${WM_CTLCOLOR} "FF0000" 0

  !insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_SHOW

FunctionEnd

Unfortunatly, this doesn't work. I've also tried replacing the SendMessage line with this:

code:


SetCtlColors $1 FF0000

But no luck there, either.

The full sample script and installoptions file are attached if anyone needs to see them.

Any ideas what I may be doing wrong?
