I think I understood the part about event handling, but what is wrong

This sounds like you are just placing two labels in a panel and you
want to catch mouse events and set the mouse pointer for one of them.
Is that correct?

If so, it would help to know how you laid these two labels out in the
parent container.  What layout manager and constraints did you use and
in which order did you add them to the panel?  Do the two labels
overlap?
