Use Linklabel image to get onclick event with out any text

Question

I have an linklabel in C# winforms. It has no text but it has an image as background. Is there any way i can use the image as hyperlink to trigger the onclick event?

I have searched a lot and all i could find was only text manipulations (like put the text to transparent..etc). Is there a way around without actually using text? Also if i can get a tooltip for linklabel.. it will be more helpful.

I hope this question is not too mainstream(i am new to C#).

i cant use button ... it will spoil the texture of the form. — takirala, Sep 21 '12 at 06:03
Give `FlatStyle:Flat` to make it look as a `imageLink` or else use `PictureBox`. — Mr_Green, Sep 21 '12 at 06:06

yeah sure use `tooltip` tool. You will understand while using it. — Mr_Green, Sep 21 '12 at 06:23
How can i change the cursor into hand style on hovering to picture box...which event (and for what control) should i handle? — takirala, Sep 21 '12 at 07:39
You can use `MouseMove` Event in which use `this.Cursor = Cursors.Hand;` If you have more doubts, we can have a chat rather extending this discussion here. — Mr_Green, Sep 21 '12 at 08:03

You can use button with a image in it and make its properties as FlatStyle:Flat to give a look as ImageLink or else use PictureBox and To show Tooltip, you can use Tooltip tool which invokes a new property in button or PictureBox.

I think making the linkcolor to transparent should also work. – Romil Kumar Jain Mar 11 '15 at 07:41
