You can higlight the label by setting its background color to a desired colour : eg lblLabel1.BackColor = Color.Red; To unHighlight it set its color back to Color.Control; Then in the buttons click event you check to see if the labels background color is your highlighted color and if it is then set the label to HELLO : EG: private void btnButton_Click(object sender System.EventArgs e) { if (lblLabel1.BackColor == Color.Red) lblLabel1.Text = Hello; else lblLabel1.Text = ; if (lblLabel2.BackColor == Color.Red) lblLabel2.Text = Hello; else lblLabel2.Text = ; }

How can a label be highlighted? A label cannot get the focus and has no SelectedText property.
