Question

I have created a label using the following code:

public static System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox pc = new PictureBox(); 

public static System.Windows.Forms.Label la = new Label();

private void label2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    label2.Visible = false;
    pictureBox2.Hide();
    Controls.Add(la);
    la.Location = new Point(78, 191);
    la.Size = new Size(72, 77);
    la.Image = _2WaySMSGatewayApp.Properties.Resources.message;
}

I want to be able to create a new label and add it to my form when I click on this label. How can I do that?

Answer 1

You can add a click handler:

la.Click += new EventHandler(la_Click);

Then in the handler:

void la_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //add new label
}

Edit – Explanation from comments. Your code would look like this:

public static System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox pc = new PictureBox(); 

public static System.Windows.Forms.Label la = new Label();

private void label2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    label2.Visible = false;
    pictureBox2.Hide();
    Controls.Add(la);
    la.Location = new Point(78, 191);
    la.Size = new Size(72, 77);
    la.Image = _2WaySMSGatewayApp.Properties.Resources.message;
    la.Click += new EventHandler(la_Click);
}

void la_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //the new label has been clicked
}
