It's been a long while when I saw custom controls, so I don't remember this. But you could be write. What I am looking for is as I mentioned irregularly shaped controls, so that the handler to the control will be invoked when the user action is on the irregularly shaped part of the control. For example, I will have a bucket full of fruits, staying next to each other, and clicking on anyone should tell me that you selected banna. Not apple, not orange ...
