Turning a Label into a "hyperlink"

The main difference between turning a Label and a Memo into a hyperlink is a Memo can recieve focus.

To turn a Labe into a hyperlink:

  1. Change the Label's Cursor property to crHandPoint
  2. Change the Label's Font property to make it blue and under lined or whatever you think a hyperlink should look like
  3. The real thing that makes a hyperlink is the code for clicking the Label which is given below 
procedure TForm1.URLLabelClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
  Close;
  ShellExecute (0, Nil, 'https://members.tripod.com/~Jimmy_Reumuth', Nil, Nil, SW_ShowDefault);
end;
