Answer 1

Use the AddHandler statement to subscribe to the Click event:

    AddHandler pic.Click, AddressOf pic_Click

The sender argument of the pic_Click() method gives you a reference to the picture box back:

Private Sub pic_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
    Dim pic As PictureBox = DirectCast(sender, PictureBox)
    ' etc...
End Sub

If you need additional info about the specific control, like an index, then you can use the Tag property.

Substitute PictureBox1 with the name of your control.

Private Sub PictureBox1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.Click
    'executes when PictureBox1 is clicked
End Sub
