Hi, I am making a simple application and I noticed something quite strange so to help explain this problem I created a test application.

I created 2 pictureboxes, the first one I created using code and named it "pic". The second picturebox I created using the toolbox and just left it with the standard "picturebox1" name.

So moving along, I set both of the pictureboxes backcolor to black and I made an event for both of them that will change the backcolor to blue when I click on them.

Now heres the problem, when I click on "picturebox1" it changes to the color blue. But when I click on "pic" it doesn't, why does this happen? How can I make the event work on "pic"?

here is my sample code:

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        PictureBox pic = new PictureBox();

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            pic.BackColor = Color.Black;

            panel1.Controls.Add(pic);

            pic.Location = new Point(200, 100);
        }
        private void pic_MouseClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            pic.BackColor = Color.Blue;
        }

        private void pictureBox1_MouseClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            pictureBox1.BackColor = Color.Blue;
        }
    }
}

I will appreciate all help given!

thanks,
