So I've been working on a little game project called economy, and I've ran into a little problem. What I want is to draw a stick man on the screen when someone hires a new employee, I do this by creating a new picture box, and assigning the stick man image to it. However because I needed to do this over and over again (so that they could have unlimited employees) I had it create a new object each time.
To remove the stick men, when someone fired them, I added a new picture box over the old stick men that is just white, so it looks as if they disappear. However for some reason BringToFront(); does not appear to work with it, and so I can't get the white picture to be drawn over the stick men.
If someone could tell me why it is not working, or a way to reference the original stickmen pictureboxe's to change their image, that would be fantastic.
public void Hire_Worker_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
workers++;
money -= 10000;
PictureBox WPB = new PictureBox();
//Set location and size of new picturebox
WPB.Image = Economy.Properties.Resources.Worker;
WPB.Width = 68;
WPB.Height = 118;
WPB.Location = new Point(workerx,400);
workerx += 68;
Controls.Add(WPB);
}
public void Fire_Worker_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (workers > 1)
{
clickfire++;
workers--;
money -= 100;
if (clickfire == 1)
{
workerx -= 68;
}
PictureBox WWPB = new PictureBox();
//Set location and size of picturebox
WWPB.BringToFront();
WWPB.Image = Economy.Properties.Resources.whiteworker;
WWPB.Width = 68;
WWPB.Height = 118;
WWPB.Location = new Point(workerx, 375);
workerx -= 68;
Controls.Add(WWPB);
}
}
