    Group checkbox

    Hi group,
    How can I group a couple of check boxes on my form so that only ONE can be
    checked an anytime?
    I've tried placing them onto a panel but I can still check them both.

    Using VB.NET
    Regards

      Re: Group checkbox

      You should use radio buttons for this type of behaviour as users will expect
      to be able to check none, one or all checkboxes?

      Otherwise, the only method I can think of is to put code in each
      CheckedChanged event to uncheck all of the other checkboxes.

      Kind regards

      Rob

          Thanks Rob.
          And place the radio buttons on a panel? Sorry I'm not at work at the moment
          and can't envisage how using radio buttons will work - surely they are
          placed on the form one at a time like a check box?

              Hi,

              Yes - put each "set" of radio buttons in a different panel. Then you can
              only select one from each set as the panel being the container control is
              what determines that they are grouped together.

              Kind regards

              Rob
