Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Beginners Area/XLNT help with label

Hi, have looked at the forums for XLNT UI but decided not to post there as hardly anybody has posts this year. I have a label on a window and named it lblTilenumber, if I want to change the text do I do the following as it doesnt work? T$="tile:" +tileindex +"/"+ maxtiles GUI_SetText(txtTilenumber,t$) thanks Graham

Use lblTilenumber instead of txtTilenumber: GUI_SetText(lblTilenumber,t$)

thanks but the above is my mistake, a typo ! The code has the correct lblTilenumber both as the name for the label and as a parameter to the function but it still doesnt work. Any more ideas please?

Global lblTilenumber? (if you create label in function)

Here's sample code that works for me: Include "XSTART.BB" Graphics 800, 600, 16, 2 GUI_GFXSETUP() MyWin=GUI_WINDOW( -1,-1, 400,200, "Label Test" ) lblTileNumber = GUI_label( MyWin, 50,100, 100,20, "this text will be replaced" ) T$ = "tile:" + tileindex + "/" + maxtiles GUI_SetText( lblTilenumber, t$ ) GUI_OPENWIN( MyWin ) Repeat SetBuffer BackBuffer() : Cls GUI() Flip Until EV_WIN_CLOSE( MyWin ) Or KeyDown( 1 ) If this works for you, Graham, then it may be a scope problem as Mikele suggests. If it doesn't work, then...? (Oh, and you are talking about XLnt ii, right?)
