I have made a program in the .NET compact framework for a windows mobile PC Pocket PC. I have 6 Bitmap images in which I have loaded into 6 picturebox's. I am wondering if it is possible to process a button click on a picturebox. I'm reading a .NET compact framework book and it says that picturebox's cannot accept button clicks and that you must use the Override OnPaint method or something. I tried doing....

(Toggle Plain Text)

private void pictureBox1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (pictureBox1.Click = true)
            {
                //do stuff
            }

but I got an error saying that "The event 'System.Windows.Forms.Control.Click' can only appear on the left hand side of += or -=". Is there a way to do this??

If you're using visual studio, switch to Designer and select the picture box. Press Spacebar for properties and click the small 'events' button on top (yellow thunder icon). This will give you the list of all possible events for the selected controller. find the mouseclick and double click the empty drop down on the right. This should create a method for handling the mouse click.

Am I missing something ?

 csharp Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
private void pictureBox1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
// - when you are here , a mouse click on the pictureBox has occurred 
// no need for the rest.
            if (pictureBox1.Click = true)
            {
                //do stuff
            }
       }
private void pictureBox1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
// - when you are here , a mouse click on the pictureBox has occurred 
// no need for the rest.
            if (pictureBox1.Click = true)
            {
                //do stuff
            }
       }

       }

Do you have an event assignment, something like this:

this.pictureBox1.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.pictureBox1_Click);
