Label with FocusListener [message #458082]

I have a composite with a few labels, and I like to change their
background colors when they have the focus. If label1 has the focus, its
background become blue and all other lables' background become default
color. It is like highlighting the selected label. I tried to add Select
event listener and FocusListener and neight of them was fired when I
clicked on the label. I tried to avoid MouseListener for some reason.
Does anyone has other idea to share?

Thanks in advance

Labels don't take focus when you click on them. You can force them to take
focus (using Control.forceFocus()) but they don't draw differently to
inticate that they have focus and users don't expect this.
