[TheMrProgrammer]

i am developing an app in which i have used graphics object to create and fill a rectangle with some color. now i want to know when the user clicks inside the rectangle but i am getting some problems currently i am doing this with if-elseif conditions wouldn't a much better way to do this is by associating the click event to the rectangle i can't figure out how to associate events with the rectangle is it possible? if yes then please help else tell if there any other way of doing it other than using a label or a picture box end if thanx

Hi, The only UI objects that support events are Controls. Most of them are rectangular, so you are in luck. You could use say a Panel and set its background color. OTOH a Rectangle has a Contains() method which takes a Point, and a MouseEventArg gives you a Point, so you don't have to switch to Controls (which wouldn't make things easy when non-rectangular anyway). :)
