WinForms control to setup clickable areas in a UserControl - winforms

Question

Need to divide a UserControl with a background picture into multiple small clickable areas. Clicking them should simply raise an event, allowing to determine which particular area of the picture was clicked.
The obvious solution is using transparent labels. However, they are heavily flickering. So it looks like labels are not designed for this purpose, they take too much time to load.
So I'm thinking if any lighter option exists? To logically "slice up" the surface.
I also need a border around the areas, though.

Answer 1

on the user control do:
MouseClick += new System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventHandler(this.UserControl1_MouseClick);
and now in the UserControl1_MouseClick event do:
private void UserControl1_MouseClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
int x = e.X;
int y = e.Y;
}
now let's divide the user control to a 10x10 area:
int xIdx = x / (Width / 10);
int yIdx = y / (Height / 10);
ClickOnArea(xIdx, yIdx);
in ClickOnArea method you just need to decide what to do in each area. maybe using a 2d array of Action
as for the border do this:
protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
{
base.OnPaint(e);
Graphics g = e.Graphics;
Pen p = new Pen(Color.Black);
float xIdx = (float)(Width / 10.0);
float yIdx = (float)(Height / 10.0);
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
float currVal = yIdx*i;
g.DrawLine(p, 0, currVal, Width, currVal);
}
g.DrawLine(p, 0, Height - 1, Width, Height - 1);
for (int j = 0; j < 10; j++)
{
float currVal = xIdx * j;
g.DrawLine(p, currVal, 0, currVal, Height);
}
g.DrawLine(p, Width - 1, 0, Width - 1, Height);
}
