Text over object?

[kandieman101]

I have a picturebox (gameboard) and I want to place lables on top of sections of the board. However, I want them to not "overlap" the board, in the sense that it triggers the label click, and not the board click.

What can i do so that even if I click on the label, it doesn't have a click event, instead it triggers the picturebox click. (The shape object is a perfect example).

Private Sub Label1_Click()
    Call Picture1_Click
End Sub

in my picture_1 click event, I use the X, Y coord details. If I call it after the label click, these details are not valid.

I don't think the click event takes X and Y coordinates. If you are using the MouseUp event, then call it from the similar event of the label, i.e.

Private Sub Label1_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
    Call Picture1_MouseUp(Button, Shift, X, Y)
End Sub

Will my X and Y coordinates not be either:
a) x,y of the label
b) x,y of the form

if my label is say, in the center of the picturebox, thats a problem.

I don't have this in front of me, so you will probably have to play with it a little, but this might work:

Private Sub Label1_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
    Call Picture1_MouseUp(Button, Shift, Label1.Left + X, Label1.Top + Y)
End Sub

Okay, I guess I will just do something like that. Thanks!

If the Label is disabled its container will receive the Mouse events however, the caption color is always "grayed out".

You can easily use a Shape control. Just print whatever text you want on the PictureBox - something like.

Picture1.CurrentX = Shape1.Left
Picture1.CurrentY = Shape1.Top
Picture1.Print "This is a test."
