I would like to copy a picturebox to another picturebox, but I do not want them to change with each other.
PictureBox picbox1 = new PictureBox();
PictureBox picbox2 = picbox1;
picbox1.Visible = false; //The problem here is that picbox2.Visible will also become false
I would like to make picbox1
change without changing picbox2
....
How would I be able to do that?
Probably the best way to maintain clean code is to create an extension method, also note that your second picturebox is currently not added to controls.
public static class MyExtensions
{
public static PictureBox CreateNewWithAttributes(this PictureBox pb)
{
return new PictureBox { Image = pb.Image, Width = pb.Width };
}
}
Picturebox p2 = p1.CreateNewWithAttributes();
this.Controls.Add(p2);
More can be read on extension methods here
use this...
PictureBox p1 = new PictureBox();
PictureBox p2 = new PictureBox();
Bitmap b = new Bitmap(p1.Image);
p2.Image = b;
p1.Visible = false;
