How to create clickable label

Question

I want to create a random clickable label in my form application. I randomly generated a label but I can not click on it. Can any body help me?

Answer 1

You can just hook into the Click event as normal:

using System.Windows.Forms;

class Test
{   
    static void Main()
    {
        Label label = new Label { Text = "Click me" };
        label.Click += delegate { label.Text = "Clicked"; };
        Application.Run(new Form { Controls = { label } });
    }
}

It's a little odd though - labels aren't obviously clickable.

Jon Skeet provided an excellent answer on how to add a label dynamically, so I will add the random component.

using System.Windows.Forms;

class Program
{
    private static Random Random = new Random();

    static void Main()
    {
        var label = new Label { Text = "Click me!" };
        label.Click += delegate { RandomizeLocation(label); };

        EventHandler Load = delegate {
            RandomizeLocation(label);
        };

        var form = new Form { Controls = { label } };
        form.Load += Load;

        Application.Run(form);
    }

    private static void RandomizeLocation(Control control)
    {
        var maxWidth = control.Parent.Width - control.Width;
        var maxHeight = control.Parent.Height - control.Height;
        var x = Random.Next(maxWidth);
        var y = Random.Next(maxHeight);

        control.Location = new Point(x, y);
    }
}
