Won't I still run into the DrawText problem whether I am having whether I am 
trying to draw on a TImage or the canvas of a descendant of TCustomControl?

I had tried this almost 5 days ago I think.  The problem is that there is a bug 
in TLabel where it does not fire the MouseUp event if you MouseDown and then 
move the cursor away from the TLabel before letting go of the mouse.

I'll have a look at the links though.  That you very much.
