label size

[anonymous]

GUICreate("test")
GUICtrlCreateLabel("test", 10, 10)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xFFFF00)
GUISetState()
While Sleep(50)
WEnd

The above code creates label but with the width and height bigger then the text. I would like that it would create label with the size of the text because I would like to exactly know where the first label ends so I could precisely put another label next to the previous label. My system is Windows 7.

$hGUI = GUICreate("test")
$cLabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel("test", 10, 10)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xFFFF00)
$aPos = ControlGetPos($hGUI, "", $cLabel)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("test", 10 + $aPos[2], 10, -1, -1, 0x2) ; 0x2 = SS_RIGHT
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xFFFF00)
GUISetState()
While Sleep(50)
WEnd

When I create labels like this it leaves a lot of space between them, I would like to precisely create labels.
