Creating controls

P Android

I'm trying to figure out how to create controls to add to the toolbox. IE I want to specify an area on the screen for a specific use by creating a white rectangle and adding it to the toolbox so that while the user clicks within that rectangle a specific function occurs. can i simply create an image in photoshop for the design? if so, how do i then get it into visual studio so that i can add it to my toolbox?

Thanks,

Ok, so that makes sense. However, I'm not sure how to create a new control. I want to make some new mouse pointers that do things I want them to do (ie. Write, Erase, etc). So I now get how to create an image for this. I just do not know how to navigate to whatever place I need to for creating the new controls that these image files are for and writing the code for how they act. In addition, once finding where to code this, I do not know how to write code that specifies coorinates on the form and how to do something like: create a rectangle by reading the coordinates where the user clicked and unclicked as opposite corners of the rectangle.
