C# - Image as a clickable button

Question

I want to make some custom controls, with images as buttons. I don't want images ON buttons - I want to totally replace the button with an image read from a file. Is it possible?

Answer 1

You can use the PictureBox control and use the Click event on it to handle clicks.

Answer 2

You could use the image in the Button's BackgroundImage and change the FlatStyle to flat, and the colors of FlatAppearance MouseDownBackColor & MouseOverBackColor to transparent. It should look the same as a normal picture/picturebox with properties and events of a Button.
