Deleting images from JFrame

Question

I created one JFrame. and set layout shown in below code

    this.setLayout(new GridLayout());
    JPanel panel=new JPanel();
    panel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(panel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
    panel.add(new PicturePanel1());
    JTabbedPane jtp=new JTabbedPane();
    jtp.addTab("show Images", panel);
    jtp.addTab("Compare Image", new JButton());
    this.add(jtp);

I created another class that draws Images from particular location.

protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
   super.paintComponents(g);
   Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
   int k = 20,y=10;
   for (int j = 0; j <= listOfFiles.length - 1; j++) {
       g2.drawImage(b[j], k, y, 100, 100, null);
      // add(new javax.swing.JCheckBox());
       k = k + 120;
       if(k>=960)
       {
           k=20;
           y=y+120;
       }
       }

Its working fine. I want to delete Images when user clicks on particular Image.

This is my output window. I want to delete Image from list.

Answer 1

Here is an example I made (bored and tired of studying :)). It is by no means the best just a quick thing to show you an example, click the image you want to delete and then press the delete button or DEL to remove and image from the panel:

When app starts up (orange just shows focused label for hovering):

Image to delete is selected by clicking on the Label (Border becomes green highlighted and will remain this way until another label is clicked):

After delete button or key is pressed:
