Hi,

useHandCursor, mouseChildren, buttonMode are control properties not control styles, so you can’t set those using css.

I think the solution for you is to make a new class that extends Label, and to set there as default properties those.

Here is a small example.

Class file: ButtonLabelClass.as

package
{
    import mx.controls.Label;
 
    public class ButtonLabelClass extends Label
    {
        public function ButtonLabelClass()
        {
            super();
 
            //set your properties
            useHandCursor = true;
            mouseChildren = false;
            buttonMode = true;
        }
 
    }
}

And you can use it like this:

Application file: ButtonLabel.mxml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application 
   xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" 
   layout="absolute" xmlns:local="*">
 
   <local:ButtonLabelClass 
      id="myLabel" text="Click here!" width="150" />
 
mx:Application>

Can this be done in CSS instead of attached directly to a label or image? I have many instances, 40+ now, where I’ve added these to images, labels both on their own and within dataGrids, setting them to use the hand cursor but having to add those three tags to every instance is a real pain. I tried creating a style named .hand, adding the three tags to the style and setting the style of the elements but can’t get it to work.
