I've got an application with a login screen. Successful login has the login screen creating an instance of my main form (MDI) and hiding itself. There is (what I consider to be an) odd request that the main form have a background set of large pictures that can be clicked to perform actions (mostly opening up other instances of MDI child forms though also one or two modal non-MDI child forms).
In the absence of finding a way to incorporate clickable pictures on the background of an MDI form (any ideas?), I have created a non-closable 'Configure' MDI child form that contains these graphics. The Configure form is called in the constructor of the main MDI form with unanticipated results - namely that it never resizes by itself. I also tried to create this 'Configure' form in the MDI form's 'Load' and 'Shown' events but neither of these events seems to ever fire. So my questions... Is there an easy way to created clickable pictures on an MDI parent form's background? If not, how ought I to be showing this Configure form so that it will always seem to have a similar effect to just being the MDI parent form's 'background'?
