Handling Label Events

Here's something that even experienced Visual Basic programmers often don't know—labels have events like Click and DoubleClick (although they don't have any keystroke-handling events). Using these events can be a good thing if you're using a label control as more than just a label; for example, to reset a setting of some kind. Here's an example using the DoubleClick event to change the text in the label when the user double-clicks it:

Private Sub Label1_DoubleClick(ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Label1.DoubleClick
    Label1.Text = "Quit clicking me!"
End Sub
