Insert bitmap inside a nsis label

Question

I am trying to construct a page with has a horizontal area with coloured background. I did this using an empty label. Displaying no text and just fill color inside it. On top on this now I want to add an image.

I ${NSD_CreateLabel} first and then after this wrote code for ${NSD_CreateBitmap} and ${NSD_SetImage}. I adjusted the X Y coordinates for image such that it sits on the label. However, when I compile script, I only see the label. No bitmap image is displayed on top of it.

Can someone help with this?

The z-index (depth) of created controls is not defined/documented but in your case you should be able to just swap them so the label is not on top of the image:

Page Custom myPageCreate
Page InstFiles

!include nsDialogs.nsh
Function myPageCreate
nsDialogs::Create 1018
Pop $0

${NSD_CreateBitmap} 30% 30% 80% 80% ""
Pop $0
File "/oname=$pluginsdir\img.bmp" "${NSISDIR}\Contrib\Graphics\Wizard\arrow.bmp"
${NSD_SetImage} $0 "$pluginsdir\img.bmp" $1

${NSD_CreateLabel} 0 0 50% 50% "Hello"
Pop $0
SetCtlColors $0 000000 ff00cc

nsDialogs::Show
${NSD_FreeImage} $1
FunctionEnd
