Title: TLabel with rollover events.
Question: It's always bugged me having to write code to handle mouseenter and mouseleave events for labels. (For example, hyperlinks on web pages change colour when you move the mouse over them.)
So, in order to rid myself of this problem, I threw together this *very* simple component that you can use instead of the TLabel.
Answer:
Do "File, New, Unit", highlight the whole unit and paste the code below over it. Save it as "MouseLabel.pas" and then install it as a component. That's all there is to it. You now have a label with mouseenter and mouseleave events.
