Are you trying to draw on top of a picture? You can use the Picture Functions palette to do this if you track mouse clicks.

I made a VI that draws lines on a picture when the user clicks and drags between two points. I'll attach it here and you can play around with it to see what I did. Essentially, I just store the coordinate of the first click upon Mouse Down event. Then, I use the stored coordinate within the Mouse Up event to draw the line.

Hi,

    I'm not trying to draw on a picture. I just want to place a Png on FP, wherever i click the mouse on FP.

That's a little tougher because you can't create picture controls on the front panel while the VI is running. The alternative to this would be to have one really large picture control and insert the smaller pictures in to the large picture data. So in the end it would be like overlaying small pictures over the top of a large one.

Here's the 2011 version of that VI. At least with this, you can see how to use mouse click events with coordinates.
