Hello Everyone,
I designed a custom control that is entirely covered by a picture box.
I then dragged this custom control onto a windows form application
(called main) and I need to handle mouse events in my main
application. Specifically, when a user double clicks on my custom
control I need to draw something on another picture box located in my
main application.
I'm going to attempt to draw the scenario because I think it will
clarify my question so please bare with me!

What I need to be able to do as I mentioned above is somehow establish
communication between the
custom control and picture box. The problem is that because the custom
control is entirely covered by its OWN
picture box, whenever the user clicks on the control in the main form,
it doesn't do anything (because its picturebox is preventing it from
receiving mouse clicks.
Any ideas on how to get around this problem? I'd appreciate the help!
One solution might be to draw to the main picture box from the custom
control itself. Is that even possible? Can paint to the main picture
box through my custom control code?
Thanks for any help!

your control should inherit from the class System.Windows. Forms.Control.

Hello all,
I've created a custom control that draws a monthly schedule (using the Draw
function in C#). Basically it draws 31 boxes and writes the day number in
every box.
This works great. But I now want to show a different tooltip for every day.
For now I found out that I can add a tooltip for the entire custom control

In a VB.Net Windows Forms application, I have a user control that
handles mouse events. Another section of code programmatically adds a
label to the control. I would like label to ignore all events allowing
the user control to react to the mouse click.
Setting the Enabled property on the label to False comes close, but I
don't want the font color to change. Does anyone have an idea how .NET
implements the code behind the Enabled...

I want to know, definitively when a slider loses focus after a user has
started sliding and hasn't released the mouse yet. It appears that
this is captured with the WM_ACTIVATEAPP message but this only goes to
the form and I want it in the user control that maybe very much removed
from the form's knowledge; i.e. the form may launch a 3rd party form
that, upon a call back, decides to launch other form that has my user

When a custom control is used within a form, that control does not get
events directly. I've run into this a couple times with both mouse
and keyboard events.
Ex: A custom control inherits from UserControl (or Panel, etc). If
that particular control is being edited, it IS possible to assign
handlers and get events.
However, when the control is used on the main form, assigning a
handler to the particular control does nothing--the...

I have created a container that will position 4 panels that has 15

I have based it similar to a System.Windows.Forms.SplitContainer but
that has 4 panels instead of 2.
It douse not have the ability on fixing the splitter like the
SplitContainer class has, each splitter is based on a parentage of the
container. For what I wanted it for it did not need that capability so
I wasn’t too bothered.
