asked on

Letting a click fall through

I have a UserControl with a PictureBox control on it (Docking set to FILL) and then on that PictureBox I have another PictureBox.

How can I let a MouseDown event on either PictureBox fall through to the UserControl, such that the UserControl can respond to the MouseDown?
