c# Draw Textbox onclick

Question

For a project at school I need to create a program called Use Case Helper.

When I click somewhere in the windows form application, a textbox must appear. I don't know how I can achieve this, I think with a paint event, but i couldn't find anything.

Could someone point me in the right direction?

    private void Form1_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        TextBox tb = new TextBox();
        tb.Text = "Sample Stuff";

        tb.Location = e.Location;

        this.Controls.Add(tb);
    }

This will add a textbox wherever you click.

You should examine OnClick event on your Form or Panel. Then you should get x and y parameters and, finally, use method panel1.Controls.Add(yourTextBox); But seriously, this is googleable question, so, please, avoid asking such on StackOverflow.
