I want to be ale to add an image to a form in runtime using a click from the left mouse button. When I tried the code below, nothing happens. I don't get an error message and the picture doesn't appear where I click.

What I have tried:

private void button7_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
           Floors floors = new Floors();
           floors.ShowDialog();

           if(Mouse.LeftButton == MouseButtonState.Pressed)
           {
               var picture = new PictureBox
               {
                   Name = "pictureBox",
                   Size = new Size(16, 16),
                   Location = new Point(100, 100),
                   Image = Final_Project_1_.Properties.Resources.fire_icon,

               };
               this.Controls.Add(picture);
           }


       }

floors.ShowDialog(); ... what is the point of using 'ShowDialog when you do nothing based on the result ?

Study this: [^]

Put breakpoints in your code and examine the state of the varuables as you single-step through it (using F11).

Is it possible showing whatever a 'Floors is ... a Form ? ... clears the MouseButtonState ? Try capturing the MouseButtonState in a variable before you show the 'floors modally.
