radio button user settings

[Scuba Rob]

I am having problems on getting the radio button to work with my.settings
correctly. I want the program to check to see which one was last saved to use
at startup. The closest I have come is that I need to click the radio button
twice for it to be saved correctly.
Any idea on what to use? I think the code should be fairly simple but I am
missing it for some reason.

Huh? You'd need to set a flag and persist that to reuse it.

Does this make any more sense? I'll post the code if you wish to see it.

Looks like there is something wrong with the radio button setup in that
case. Try creating a new solution with just the radio buttons and see if
they work OK.

OK, thanks Homer. I'll try this tomorrow

Re: radio button user settings

Here is what I have for code but it still does not work. Any help would be
greatly appreciated:
Public Class Form1

Private Sub Button2_Click(B yVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles Button2.Click
End
End Sub

Private Sub RadioButton1_Ch eckedChanged(By Val sender As System.Object,
ByVal e As System.EventArg s) Handles RadioButton1.Ch eckedChanged,
RadioButton2.Ch eckedChanged
Call settings()
End Sub

Public Sub settings()
If RadioButton1.Ch ecked = True Then
Me.Text = "Imperial"
My.Settings.Imp erial = True
ElseIf RadioButton2.Ch ecked = True Then
Me.Text = "Metric"
My.Settings.Met ric = True
End If
My.Settings.Sav e()
End Sub

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVa l sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles Me.Load
Call settings()
End Sub
End Class

I put both buttons in a GroupBox.

Private Sub RadioButton1_Ch eckedChanged(By Val sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArg s) Handles RadioButton1.Ch eckedChanged, _
RadioButton2.Ch eckedChanged
If RadioButton1.Ch ecked = True Then
Me.Text = "Imperial"
Else
Me.Text = "Metric"
End If
End Sub

Re: radio button user settings

This part always worked fine. I need to store the radio button setting state
in the settings so upon startup it remembers which system to use, metric or
imperial. I have the Metric and Imperial setup in the settings as boolean.

Some have suggested that using a .ini file is easier and more reliable than
using the 'settings'. Or you could use the registry which is also pretty
reliable.

If you want to use My.Settings consider storing the state of 'Imperial' only
(True or False).

Re: radio button user settings

Homer,
I finally have got it to work using the My.Settings. Took me a few hours
playing with different settings but seems to work fine in the test
application.
Thanks for the help. I can send the code if anyone wants it.

OK. Quite a learning curve for us all on .Net!
