TPJHotLabel descends from TLabel. It provides a clickable label that can start the default browser or email client to access a specific URL. Key features of the component are:

• The URL property is used for storing the URL to be accessed when the label is clicked.
• The Caption property can either store descriptive text or can automatically reflect the URL.
• The label can be highlighted using a user-defined font when the mouse passes over it.
• The label displays the "hand point" cursor by default. For versions of Delphi that do not support provide the crHandPoint cursor, a custom cursor is linked in to the program by the component.
• The component's pop-up hints can be customised to:
  • display the normal Hint text;
  • automatically display the URL, ignoring the Hint property.
  • display custom hints set each time the hint is displayed using an event handler.

A help file is provided that can inegrate with the IDE of Delphi 3 to 7.

This v2 release is backwards compatible with v1 of the component.
