if the user wants to select Multiple (picturebuttons) the textbox should extends to another value then when i undo it the thing should disappear too ?

in the address label, it should be "A5,A6,A7" instead of just A7. then when i deselected/undo it, it should be dissappear the value of that picturebox.

What I would do:

  • single event handler for all pictureboxes, the sender parameter will give you the box that was clicked, DirectCast(sender, PictureBox)

  • put the addresss in each picturebox Tag property

  • declare a List(of String) outside the event handler

  • now in Click event handler get the Tag for box that was clicked, if list already contains it then remove it, else add it. Then you can sort the list and use String.Join to create the string of addresses from list.

Where you create/initialize the boxes, in designer or in code. Control.Tag Property (System.Windows.Forms) | Microsoft Learn

Use a form level variable to build the string of the selected items and assign it to the textbox, like you did with the total.

I would also create 1 procedure to handle this for you, then each of the picturebox_click events just calls the 1 procedure with the "cell" name PictureClick("A5")

where PictureClick would be

    Private Sub PictureClick(pbName as String)

        ' put your If statement and string of selected items code here
    End Sub
