Re: Hotspots in graphic

I've done this in the past using a bitmap upon which I placed blocks of a
specific colour for each link. You can get the mouse position from an image
displayed in a PictureBox and see what the colour is in the link-image using
GetPixel. Using a simple table you can determine which colour corresponds to
which link
