How to find x,y of stilus on image ?

[nomick]

I've tried to add event mousedown to image-control on form, but when I "click" on image - no reaction. How can I find coordinates of touching point on image then ? Mousedown event on the form works fine, but I need several images and to get exact coordinates of touches. Thanks in advance !

You will need to draw the images on the form instead.
Use Form1.DrawImage.

Yes, I wrote that I know about that way, but how can I put several images on a form simultaneously ? I think it's impossible It would be much easier could I just add event mousedown to the image-control. At PDA almost all control can be made only by pen, so it's nessesary to know the x-y of touch. But now that image-control can be used just as a Big Beautiful Button...
Well, another way - can I bring the form to the front and make it transparent to see background images and intercept touches ?

@dzt, can you also retrieve the x,y coordinates with dzEventsMagic?

At a more abstract level than dzEventsMagic I can add the mouse events as a straight forward B4PPC event to my ControlEvents library if anyone is interested?

Of course. Where will be the magic if not?

I've posted a new sample.

Thanks for your help, but I have no rights to download anything from the dzEventsMagic thread....

Sorry but the additional libraries are only available to users who purchased Basic4ppc.
