e As EventArgs) Handles button1.Click
' If the CTRL key is pressed when the
' control is clicked, hide the control.
If Control.ModifierKeys = Keys.Control Then
CType(sender, Control).Hide()
End If
End Sub
private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
/* If the CTRL key is pressed when the
* control is clicked, hide the control. */
if(Control.ModifierKeys == Keys.Control)
{
((Control)sender).Hide();
}
}
private:
void button1_Click( Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ /*e*/ )

/* If the CTRL key is pressed when the
* control is clicked, hide the control. */
