Question

I’m only a beginner in C#, so simple answers would really help.

I’m trying to make a very simple game that detects a MouseClick on a PictureBox of size 50,50 (at the beginning of the game). After each successful MouseClick on the PictureBox (which has a blue BackgroundImage), I want to change to Size of the PictureBox so that it is 1 pixel smaller in Width and Height. I will then have the PictureBox move to a random location (which I already know how to do, so no help is needed for that part).

I think it may have something to do with picturebox.Resize but I’m not very sure.

This is a total general question you should look it up in the internet and dont ask it here..
btt:

Size size = new Size(100,100);
pictureBox1.Size = size;

http://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/system.windows.forms.control.size.aspx

in your case this would be your code:

Size size = pictureBox1.Size;
size.Height--;
size.Width--;
pictureBox1.Size = size;

or just:

pictureBox1.Height--;
pictureBox1.Width--;

or for the cool ones:

private int size = 50;
private void button5_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    size--;
    pictureBox1.Height = pictureBox1.Width = size;
}

resp.:

private void button5_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    pictureBox1.Height = pictureBox1.Width = pictureBox1.Width - 1;
}
