I create a few custom controls (buttons) inside a tabControl which contains a FLP at run-time by dragging files on it. I want to remove buttons when I right click on a button and from a context menu select remove. My question is how do I know which button I right click to remove ?
How I create the button:
public void tabControl1_DragDrop(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
{
string[] fileList = e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.FileDrop) as string[];
foreach (string s in fileList)
{
var button = new Button();
CustomControl custom_btn = new CustomControl(button, new Label { Text = file_name, BackColor = Color.Red });
button.Tag = path_app;
FlowLayoutPanel selectedFLP = (FlowLayoutPanel)tabControl1.SelectedTab.Controls[0];
selectedFLP.Controls.Add(custom_btn);
ContextMenu cm2 = new ContextMenu();
cm2.MenuItems.Add("Remove", new EventHandler(rmv_btn_click));
custom_btn.ContextMenu = cm2;
}
}
My try to remove the buttons, but is not removing the one I select..
private void rmv_btn_click(object sender, System.EventArgs tab)
{
//flp_panel.Controls.Remove(sender as Button); - not working because the sender is actually the button "remove" from the context menu..
foreach (Control X in flp_panel.Controls)
{
flp_panel.Controls.Remove(X);
}
}
You can first declare a method:
private EventHandler handlerGetter( Button button )
{
return ( object sender, EventArgs e ) =>
{
flp_panel.Controls.Remove(button);
};
}
Then modify your existing code to:
cm2.MenuItems.Add("Remove", handlerGetter(custom_btn));
Done.
