Question

I have 10 PictureBox on a windows form (created in Design View) and a context menu strip is attached to each of them. I am trying to set the property of the PictureBox using the context menu.

For eg If the user selects Red from the context menu a Red picture shows up

I can get the the name of the control that popped the Context Menu strip by

cmStrp1.SourceControl.Name

Is there any way I can use the cmStrp1.SourceControl.Name to get the object/control and set its properties

Answer 1

Just use cmStrp1.SourceControl instead of cmStrp1.SourceControl.Name. You need to cast the control to a PictureBox before using it.
