Need some help with mouse over, change color

Hello,
I would like to change the color of a static text (like a hyperlink) when I go with my mouse over the
text.
I already change the cursor to a hand-cursor when my mouse is over the static text.
Please let me know. 500 points
Best regards,
Thomas

This is a nice sample (it is for a button, but you can apply the same concept to a static control):
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/buttons/hoverbutton.aspx

NOTE: may be you need to change CHoverButton::OnMouseHover from
void CHoverButton::OnMouseHover(WPARAM wparam, LPARAM lparam)
to
LRESULT CHoverButton::OnMouseHover(WPARAM wparam, LPARAM lparam)
and return 0 from it
