calling WinForms contextmenustrip programmatically
- by jello
I programmatically create a Picture Box in c# windows program. I assign it with a value for the Tag property. I would like to print out that tag number programmatically, just for test purposes. so I try this:
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
pic.ContextMenuStrip = contextMenuStrip1;
pic.ContextMenuStrip.Click += new EventHandler(this.MyPicHandler);
}
void MyPicHandler(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
PictureBox pic = sender as PictureBox;
MessageBox.Show(pic.Tag.ToString());
}
But when I right-click on the picture, and click on the menu item, it gives me an exception. "A NullReferenceException was unhandled" "Object reference not set to an instance of an object.". anyone's got an idea what's going on?
