Change currently image?

[dennis_max27]

First i had this:

private void pbEdit_OnMouseEnter(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
pbTextEdit.Image = Image.FromFile("C:/data/edit_color.gif");

} Now I wanna use 1 function for different pictureboxes: My code i was thinking of but didn't work :( this.Image = Image.FromFile("C:/data/edit_color.gif"); Dennis,

If I understood your question correct, you need to have a single method to change images of multiple picture boxes. And that method should be the MouseEnter event handler. Right? You can have single event handler for all the picture boxes. This way:

picBox1.MouseEnter += new EventHandler(EventHandlerName);
picBox2.MouseEnter += new EventHandler(EventHandlerName);

Same way you can do this fro others as well. Now, in order to change the image, use the following:

PictureBox picBox = sender as PictureBox;
picBox.Image = Image.FromFile("Set file path here");

In case all the picture boxes need to show the different images, you can keep the image file path in the Tag property of the PictureBox and then use it like this:

picBox.Image = Image.FromFile(picBox.Tag.ToString());

Im having 10 picturesboxes that im using as button. When im mouse over over now it is changed from image. and when i click on that button its openeing in every 10 buttons a different window. Have that now :) But all 10 picatureboxes must have the same mousenter and mouseleave event. SO i didnt't want to make 10 the same mouseenter and mouseleave events. Is it possible in 1?

Offcourse it is. Did you saw the first code block I have written?

I've made this already: picBox1.MouseEnter += new EventHandler(EventHandlerName); picBox2.MouseEnter += new EventHandler(EventHandlerName); But I must declare in the eventhandler that it is changed the only the image the one where the mouse is hovering then, not all images. 1 eventhandler where he only works with the image where it's mouseentering and mouse leaving then. It's difficult to explain for me.

Did you read the second and the third code blocks? The object sender will be the picturebox which fires the event. This means, that if you do a mouse enter on picturebox1, the sender will be picturebox1. If you do mouse enter on picturebox2, sender will be picturebox2. Now, if you cast sender to a picturebox, and change its image, it will change image of only the concerned picturebox.
