Examples
The following example demonstrates how to use the ContainsKey method to remove a Shape from a form if it is a member of the form's ShapeCollection. This example requires that you have at least two OvalShape controls on a form.
private void Form1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
ShapeContainer canvas;
// Get the ShapeContainer.
canvas = ovalShape1.Parent;
// If OvalShape2 is in the same collection, remove it.
if (canvas.Shapes.ContainsKey("ovalShape2"))
{
canvas.Shapes.Remove(ovalShape2);
}
}
Private Sub Form1_Click() Handles Me.Click
Dim canvas As ShapeContainer
' Get the ShapeContainer.
canvas = OvalShape1.Parent
' If OvalShape2 is in the same collection, remove it.
If canvas.Shapes.ContainsKey("OvalShape2") Then
canvas.Shapes.Remove(OvalShape2)
End If
End Sub
