I want to make a function that deletes all pictureboxes at a certain location.
Right now i have this

VB

Public Function ClearTaskBar()
    For Each ctrl In Controls
        If ctrl =  Then


        End If
    Next
End Function

and i do not know how to use the location of those controls as arguments.
Does anyone know how to do this?

The location as arguments to what? You might find if helpful to read the documentation, https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.control.location(v=vs.110).aspx

an argument like: if ctrl.location = (0, 0) Then

That is not an argument. You would check the X and Y values of the location's point.

It should be coded like this :

VB

Public Function ClearTaskBar()
     For Each ctrl as control In Controls
         If ctrl.visible  Then
            ' do something
         End If
         If ctrl.location.X=0 andalso ctrl.location.Y=0 Then
            ' do something
         End If
     Next
 End Function

Now you have to decide what to do with the "crtl" ...

... but "crtl" only is accessible as control - either if it is a Button or a Lable or whatever ...
