ImageMouseUp - This event raises when Mouse pointer selection is done on CaptionImage bounds and Mouse selection is released. ImageMouseEnter - This event is raised when Mouse pointer enters CaptionImage bounds. It is used to show highlight effect for CaptionImage back color. ImageMouseLeave - This event is raised when Mouse pointer leaves CaptionImage bounds. It is used to show highlight effect for CaptionImage back color.
