Hello,

I am writing a proof-of-concept application for a PocketPC using Visual Studio 2005/Visual Basic 2005.

Any clues on how could I map an image - create hotspots which would mimic buttons when user click on them.

What I would like to do is to place a PictureBox on the form which would be the same size as the form, and on which the butons will already be drawn in some shape. After I've placed an image, I would like than to map those buttons on the image to act as standard buttons - to create an event when clicked on them.

If this cannot be solved by the whole image, is it possible just to place a background image, and somehow put graphical buttons on top (does the VB2005 supports that at all?).

Thank you for helping,
Danko

Okay... (Just a thought)

I guess, creating Hotspots are fine with HTML and Image mapping... So when it is Picture control, then, rather than going in "HotSpot" way... why don't you try with X and Y points. Just note down the X and Y co-ordinates and in the click event, just check if coords matches or are they are with the range of the country, and do the logical process when matches...

(hope this helps)

I know, single X and Y will be difficult to track and click by endy user... so try making a box from it... like X, Y, X1, Y1.. so the region is more and even user gets to click on that region anywhere.
