Hi i am attempting to make a context menu with a few controls one of wich removes controls from
a panel that are added by a users not the program so i attempted to use this code

Code: Select all

    Private Sub RemoveImageToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RemoveImageToolStripMenuItem.Click
        MsgBox("image Removed")
    End Sub

    Private Sub RemoveImageToolStripMenuItem_MouseUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles RemoveImageToolStripMenuItem.MouseUp
        If e.Button = MouseButtons.Right Then
            Panel1.Controls.Remove(sender)
        End If
    End Sub

But it does not work the control remains active inside of the panel

"sender" will always refer to he control you just clicked or hovered over or whatever.
so i your case the "sender" is the ( RemoveImageToolStripMenuItem )

The easiest way is 1 line of code.

Code: Select all

   Me.Controls.ReMoveByKey("control_name")

the "control_name" is just that. the Control.Name property for that control.
only thing is ReMoveByKey("") looks for a String() value, after all, that is what the Control.Name property really is.
just a simple string value.


easy right?
here i made an example for you.

WindowsApplication1.zip

this example uses a button to do the very same thing.

WindowsApplication1 (2).zip

Allow me to show you the hole code :P

The user will press the button called Add image and it will run this code (they can press and add as many as they want)

Code: Select all

   Dim openfiledialog1 As New OpenFileDialog
        openfiledialog1.FileName = "Select a Image file"
        openfiledialog1.Filter = "All Type Of Image Files|*.*|Joint Photographic Experts Group [JPEG]|*.jpg|Bitmap [BMP|*.bmp|Tagged Image File Format [TIFF]|*.tiff|Portable Network Graphics [PNG]|*.png"
        If (openfiledialog1.ShowDialog() = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK) Then
            Dim PB As New PictureBox
            PB.Size = New Size(100, 100)
            PB.ContextMenuStrip = BackTrackContextMenuStrip1
            PB.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage
            PB.BringToFront()
            PB.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(openfiledialog1.FileName)
            PB.BackColor = Color.Transparent
            AddHandler PB.MouseMove, AddressOf PictureBox_MouseMove
            AddHandler PB.MouseDown, AddressOf PictureBox_MouseDown
            Panel1.Controls.Add(PB)
        End If

this is the handlers for the above code

Code: Select all

    Dim P As New Point
    Private Sub PictureBox_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs)
        P = e.Location
    End Sub

    Private Sub PictureBox_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs)
        If e.Button = MouseButtons.Left Then
            sender.Location = New Point(sender.Location.X + (e.X - P.X), sender.Location.Y + (e.Y - P.Y))
        End If
    End Sub

Now what i want is to be able to remove the image which i can do on a right click event using this code

Code: Select all

    Private Sub Picturebox_MouseUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs)
        If e.Button = MouseButtons.Right Then
            Panel1.Controls.Remove(sender)
        End If
    End Sub

But i need to do it Via a context menu As the right click will show the menu which will have the option to make the picture biger or smaller and also some effects that you can apply to the image

        If (openfiledialog1.ShowDialog() = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK) Then
            Dim PB As New PictureBox
            PB.Size = New Size(100, 100)
            PB.ContextMenuStrip = BackTrackContextMenuStrip1
            PB.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage
            PB.BringToFront()
            PB.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(openfiledialog1.FileName)
            PB.BackColor = Color.Transparent
            AddHandler PB.MouseMove, AddressOf PictureBox_MouseMove
            AddHandler PB.MouseDown, AddressOf PictureBox_MouseDown
            Panel1.Controls.Add(PB)
        End If

this is the handlers for the above code

Code: Select all

    Dim P As New Point
    Private Sub PictureBox_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs)
        P = e.Location
    End Sub

    Private Sub PictureBox_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs)
        If e.Button = MouseButtons.Left Then
            sender.Location = New Point(sender.Location.X + (e.X - P.X), sender.Location.Y + (e.Y - P.Y))
        End If
    End Sub

Now what i want is to be able to remove the image which i can do on a right click event using this code

Code: Select all

    Private Sub Picturebox_MouseUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs)
        If e.Button = MouseButtons.Right Then
            Panel1.Controls.Remove(sender)
        End If
    End Sub

But i need to do it Via a context menu As the right click will show the menu which will have the option to make the picture biger or smaller and also some effects that you can apply to the image

ok first off what are these for

Code: Select all

AddHandler PB.MouseMove, AddressOf PictureBox_MouseMove
AddHandler PB.MouseDown, AddressOf PictureBox_MouseDown

they seem to only get the PictureBox's Location.
btw, will do you no go for what you want todo. i would remove them.


2nd, Why are you doing it in a mouse event?

Code: Select all

   
 Private Sub Picturebox_MouseUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs)
        If e.Button = MouseButtons.Right Then
            Panel1.Controls.Remove(sender)
        End If
    End Sub

why dont you just add the code i gave you above to a "Remove" item within the ContextMemnu.

[muttley1968]

the handlers are for moving the picturebox so if you left click it it will the move :P

And the code you Gave will only work if i know the name of the picturebox which i will not

[Scottie1972]

then give the PictureBox a name.

you have Dim pb as New PictureBox

just add pb.Name = "some_name"

[muttley1968]

Wont that apply the same name to all the pictureboxes :(

Here look click on the one that says Collarge maker and then add a few pics maybe it will help u see what i mean

[Scottie1972]

ok try this,
add this to your Form
Dim pbNum as integer = 0

now in you button where you add a picturebox add this
pb.Name = "PictureBox" & pbNum.ToString()

now your picture is named.

in your mouse_down event add this
RemoveImageMenuItem.Tag = sender.name

this will add the PictureBoxXX name to the RemoveImageMenuItem.

then in the remove code,
dim pbname as string = RemoveImageMenuItem.Tag
Panel1.Controls.RemoveByKey(pbname)


see if that helps.
