Thanks for this helpful tutorial!
How can I make the usercontrol transparent? I want to add a transparent PNG and it would be great I could see the background of the test application.
I have already search for “transparent PictureBox” but I think, it is not easy to implement
Thank you very much for your help!

I solved the problem. The generated InitializeComponent code neglected to subscribe to those methods for the events. Adding the following in the control constructor fixed the problem.

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

this.pictureBox1.MouseDown += new System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventHandler(this.pictureBox1_MouseDown);

this.pictureBox1.MouseUp += new System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventHandler(this.pictureBox1_MouseUp);

this.MouseDown += new System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventHandler(this.PictureButtonControl_MouseDown);

this.Resize += new System.EventHandler(this.PictureButtonControl_Resize);

this.MouseUp += new System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventHandler(this.PictureButtonControl_MouseUp);

There shouldnt be any modification required, ensure you are raising events of the ImageButton when the event is fired on the PictureBox.

private void pictureBox1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) { this.OnMouseDown(e); }


	private void pictureBox1_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)

	{

		this.OnMouseUp(e);

	}

private void pictureBox1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { this.OnClick(e); }

What changes are needed to the iPhone picture style button code for it to work on a Windows CE 5.0 device? Although the code builds and runs on that device, the control mouse down and up methods are never invoked but the constructor is invoked. The Form click method for the control is called upon selection of the label however. The Form method click is never called upon clicking the picture box.
