Hi everyone!

I am currently working on a user interface project right now where I
need to do something similar to how the Visual Studio interface works.
In Visual Studio you can drag a button control from the toolbox and
leave it at any point in the form and you can put as many buttons on
the form as you want. I need to do something similar to this and I
have no idea how to approach coding it.

I will have several images/controls that need to be dragged and
dropped at any point in the form and there could be thousands of each
kind of image. So somehow I need to enable the user to drag and drop
these images and then to be able to click on them to perform other
actions. Along with this, each image will have a different set of
information associated with it so somehow I have to keep track of them
all individually. But since there is really a limitless number of how
many there could be I am unsure of how to do this.

I know this is a very complicated programming problem but does anyone
out there have any advice on how I should try to do this? I am
searching the web and books for information on how to do this but I
haven't found anything that directly addresses what I need to do yet -
I need your help!! Thanks a lot!!

Joy :)

Thanks that helps a lot. However, I think the main point I am very
confused about is how to associate a click event with the various image
objects when they don't exist before the user creates them. Do you have
any ideas about that?
