    Hey,

    Welcome to the forums!!

    There is nothing to stop you using a PictureBox as a button, and then using the Click Event of the PictureBox to carry out some action.

    Having said that, since you are developing a UI for a Windows Mobile device you have to consider things like processing speed and limited screen resolution. You are going to have to be careful that your UI doesn't become too cluttered and busy to the point that it isn't usable.

    Thanks for the help! I will definately take the device limitations into consideration as I start to use PictureBoxes for buttons and such. They're actually quite use as backgrounds for tabs, but hog a decent amount of memory, and can really slow down low RAM devices, like the older Treos with only 32 MB. Again, thanks!
