Mouse move event of label control (vb6)

I manage a label control mouse move event to change the forecolor of the control when the mouse move over the control. But there is a problem that on mouse move event this subroutine changes the forecolor but when the mouse move from the label control to another it does not changes the forecolor which was before the mouse move event was triggered.
pls help me for the same.
sub like this
private sub lblExam_mousemove(.......)
lblexam.forecolor=vbgreen
end sub
and how can i change the forecolor of the control through this sub .
pls help me

You're going to have to change all the labels in every _mouseover event, setting the current one (the label that the mouse is over) to the color you want, and the rest to the original. In these examples, I'm using vbgray as the "original" color.

private sub lblExam1_mousemove(.......)
lblexam1.forecolor=vbgreen
lblexam2.forecolor=vbgray
lblexam3.forecolor=vbgray
end sub
private sub lblExam2_mousemove(.......)
lblexam2.forecolor=vbgreen
lblexam1.forecolor=vbgray
lblexam3.forecolor=vbgray
end sub
private sub lblExam3_mousemove(.......)
lblexam3.forecolor=vbgreen
lblexam1.forecolor=vbgray
lblexam2.forecolor=vbgray
end sub

You probably want to add the defaults to your Form_MouseMove() too. This will deselect any label you just had your mouse over:

private sub Form_mousemove(.......)
lblexam1.forecolor=vbgray
lblexam2.forecolor=vbgray
lblexam3.forecolor=vbgray
end sub

Hope that helps.

I suggest you to do like this:

private sub Label1_mousemove(.......)
If X < 20 Or X > Label1.Width - 20 Or Y < 20 Or Y > Label1.Height - 20 Then
Label1.ForeColor = vbGreen
Else
Label1.ForeColor = vbWhite
End If

end sub

Dear expert Paul
Your code is working good. But that 's not what i want. Actuly i want to manage this from one subroutine (mouse move).
Thanks for concern
Ali
