Do you have the image itself?

If you're talking about the Hover effect, you can use the onHover event in the picture box..

Is this maybe Web based project? If it's web then you can use CSS to achive what you want. I will be waiting for your confirmation and then help further. Till then Regards

Well i doubt that PictureBox's Image property allows you to set the Image x and y by default. Maybe you should first slice the image in Photoshop and then load the slices on certain event respectively. PictureBox supports all needed events for that (MouseEnter, MouseLeave, MouseClick etc.).

The easiest way I can think of is along kulrom's post here. Break the image into the needed pieces (make sure they're of equal size) and swap the images around in the appropriate events.

If you're wanting this control to have focus (the user can press space or enter to cause it's click event to happen) then I would use a Button control for this, not a PictureBox.

finally i found the solution. but bmp's quality is bad.. hmm another issue

Public Sub close()
Dim imgClose = New Bitmap("Skin/Images/main_window_close.png")
Dim imglstClose As New ImageList
imglstClose.ImageSize = New Size(imgClose.Width / 4, imgClose.Height)
For I = 0 To 3
Dim BMP As Bitmap = New Bitmap(imgClose.Width / 4, imgClose.Height, Imaging.PixelFormat.Format64bppArgb)
Dim G As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(BMP)
G.DrawImage(imgClose, New Rectangle(0, 0, imgClose.Width / 4, imgClose.Height), New Rectangle(I * (imgClose.Width / 4), 0, imgClose.Width / 4, imgClose.Height), System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Pixel)
imglstClose.Images.Add(BMP)
Next
End Sub
