Can I set BackgroundColour to wxStaticText?

[Puthick Hok]

Hi,

I'm new to wxPerl and wxWidgets. I'm trying to set a background colour
to a Wx::StaticText without success. I did it via wxGlade from my
Linux box as well as modifying the demo code. The modified demo code
for Wx::StaticText is:

package Wx::DemoModules::wxStaticText;

use strict;
use base qw(Wx::DemoModules::lib::BaseModule Class::Accessor::Fast);

use Wx qw(:statictext);

__PACKAGE__->mk_accessors( qw(statictext) );

sub styles {
    my( $self ) = @_;

    return ( [ wxALIGN_LEFT, 'Align left' ],
             [ wxALIGN_CENTER, 'Align center' ],
             [ wxALIGN_RIGHT, 'Align right' ],
             [ wxST_NO_AUTORESIZE, 'No autoresize' ],
             );
}

sub commands {
    my( $self ) = @_;

    return ( { with_value  => 1,
               label       => 'Set label',
               action      => sub { $self->statictext->SetLabel( $_[0] ) },
               },
             );
}

sub create_control {
    my( $self ) = @_;

    my $statictext = Wx::StaticText->new( $self, -1, 'A label',
                                          [-1, -1], [100, 200],
                                          $self->style );

    $statictext->SetBackgroundColour(Wx::Colour->new(25, 25, 0));

    return $self->statictext( $statictext );
}

sub add_to_tags { qw(controls) }
sub title { 'wxStaticText' }

1;

Thanks,
