Image with selectable regions?

[Amesville]

Hi Folks

I'm trying to create something that will display an image of the united states, and allow the user to click on one of the states to select it. I know I did something similar many years ago in VB6, but now I'm using .net 2008 and I can't seem to find the right keywords to tell me what control to use or how to do it. This is a Winforms project. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

The PictureBox's MouseClick event looks like this:

Private Sub PictureBox1_MouseClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.MouseClick

End Sub

The 'e' property has X and Y (e.X and e.Y) values indicating where in the control the MouseClick occurred. You can map out the XY coordinates that define the boundaries of each state and use that to determine which state was clicked.

Thank you - that sounds workable. I will give it a try.
