setting differnet areas of form to be clickable

Answer 1

You will need to know the location and sizes of the areas, of course, and then use the form's Click event handler. You'll need to use the location of the cursor at the time the click occurred and check to see which area it's in.

Answer 2

• If you're using a bunch of button controls, just add the right event handlers to the right buttons.

• If you're not using buttons, then you need to know the exact coordinates of every particular clickable component. From there you can add the Click event handler to the window itself, then handle the input based on the coordinates of the mouse click.
