Add mouseover underline and hand-cursor to custom web control

I am trying to modify a label control for a webform, to act as a psuedo-hyperlink. I want to be able to click on it and it call functions from my code-behind.

Platinumbaby proposed this creative solution and it works very well for me:
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21215296/Need-clickable-Label-control-on-webform.html#12641646

That question is closed and I would like to extend its functionality to include a mouseover that would underline the object's font and change the cursor to a hand.

As I suggested, I would use CSS styles to do that.

Something similar to:
.text{font:10px verdana,helvetica,arial;text-decoration:none;cursor:pointer;}
a.text:link{font:10px verdana,helvetica,arial;text-decoration:none;color:#666699;cursor:hand;}
a.text:visited{font:10px verdana,helvetica,arial;text-decoration:none;color:#333366;cursor:hand;}
a.text:hover{font:10px verdana,helvetica,arial;text-decoration:underline;color:#666699;cursor:hand}

However, you could programtically add those styles to the CustomWebControl. I'll have some code for that shortly.

You're the bomb; and your code it straightforward enough that I actually learned something. Thanks for your effort!

Knowing how to use WebCustomControls is a very cool thing, you can do a lot to extend the base controls, and they have been lifesends for me in the past. Glad I could help, and glad you learned something.
