Creating "Hot Spots" on an image.. ?

[coopsqc]

If you can help please do, I'm about to have a fit over this small but annoying issue. I have an image of a solar system, with 15 images that I need to "create hot spots" for. So that when the user clicks them they "do an activity". I can't find any reference anywhere as to how to create "hot spots". I've been reading and serching but to no avial. I'm coming along nicely with my project so far, but have stumbled over this part.. Can you help ? Many thanks. :)

You don't make "hot spots" in the images. You track the mouse inside your control and then, when the user clicks the mouse, you compare the mouse coordinates to your objects coordinates. See this[^] article for an example. RageInTheMachine9532

the quickest way to do this i think would be to place objects ontop of your image. have your main big image in the background, and place (ie.)labels ontop of the main image. make the label transparent so the user doesnt know its there. this label can act as your "hot spot". and upon clicking the label it will act just like a normal hotspot, assuming the coding is correct. if a label doesnt work, use a imagebox or something, with no border or image source. ------------------------ Jordan.

Thanks Jordan, I was working on this method as a last way out as it makes the screen somewhat slow to redraw, causing a flicker as the screen redraws the invisible lables on top of the image. CoopsQC
