    Question How do i create user-defined button shapes in visual c#. for example, clickable areas

    Hi All
    Im running into a problem when i try to do something using c sharp. Im trying to create a GUI in which there is an image of a parking lot. i want parts of the image to be clickable. in fact i want parts of the image to act like buttons.
    i run into two problems

    1 how to make the image visible on the windows form
    2 how to make the parts of the image clickable (in fact act like buttons)


    for trying to make the image appear on the form i made a picturebox and used the "initial image" property to set the image i wanted to display on the form

    but its not showing up. why is that?




    as for the second part, the one where i had to do the clickable image, i have posted the image on top of the form and taken a screenshot of it so u guys can see what im trying to say.

    in that image u guys can see parking lots, numbered. i want to make each one of the numbered area act like a button. is there any way for me to do that?


    ps: im using visual studio 2008


    thanks a lot!!
    any help is appreciated

    Have you considered using a Image Map Control?

    I think easies it could be achieved with WPF.
    • Make it run.
    • Make it right.
    • Make it fast.

    Don't hesitate to rate my post.
