I have designed a GUI calc ,I have used flat buttons for the numbers, to get the button click feel I have changed the mouse down color, but when I use the numpad keys to do calc I am able to stimulate the click event. How do I stimulate MouseDown event?
Take the code that changes the button color from the mousedown event, refactor it into it's own method and call it from the keydown event as well.

I am using Control.Draggable, a Nuget package that lets you drag and drop a control. However, when a button is dragged, it fires up the click event. How do I pragmatically prevent the button from sending a click event when it is dragged?
You could use the MouseDown event to save the position of the button, then use MouseUp to check if it matches what you saved with MouseDown. If it is the same(meaning the button hasn't moved) then run the code you want on click.
I am trying to create user controls on a simple number sliding game. Instead of using traditional click interface I wanted to use the keyboard but i cant find anyway to bind specific keys to specific buttons and I don't if it is possible to create a keyboard button press event.
is there a way to code a keyboard button press event into the program?
There sure is, in the button click event handler just add a call to this API:

How can I prevent the click event from firing, if the click was on a checkbox?
I mean, when I click in the text area, I'd like to handle that but when the checkbox is being clicked, I don't want that click code to fire.
You can remove the delegate from the delegate list like this
Alternativement (and probably more safely) you can simply wrap the on click event in a if and prevent the code from executing under some circumstances.
so at the moment I have a dataGideView with multiSelect disabled. Although that is the case when I drag click the computer does not count that as a cell click. How do I get it so that a drag click counts the first cell it hits as a cell click.
MouseClick or Click will trigger on release. If you only want to check when the mouse is clicked, use MouseDown.
If you want something to happen when they click (before release), you will have to subscribe to the MouseDown event of each child control, and do whatever you want. To avoid repetition, you will have to create custom controls, and handle the event within the class (if possible).
I am using maskedTextBox.SelectAll() to highlight the text in the MaskedTextBox in the Enter and MouseDown events.
It works when I use the mouse, but I go to that textbox by pressing the Tab key, it does not work.
What am I missing here?
Have you tried the GotFocus event?
When you change the focus by using the keyboard (TAB, SHIFT+TAB, and so on), by calling the Select or SelectNextControl methods, or by setting the ContainerControl.ActiveControl property to the current form, focus events occur in the following order:
It then goes on to list the events that are fired. It looks like this fires when the mouse is used so you might only need this handler.
