Clicking on a label's border does not work

Hey guys,

I've been trying to figure this out for a while now. I have a form with
some labels. The labels' click events are handled fine if I click inside the
label but if I position the mouse directly on the border of the label (a
fixed single border) the click isn't registered.

Is it just impossible to click/double click the label's border and set off
the click event handler? If anyone knows how this can be done, please let me
know.

Thanks.

If it's truly a border you will need to override the label and handle
the WndProc method such that you trap the various WM_NCxxx messages.
