Deselect all radio buttons in a group - VB2005

[liltwese]

Hi, i'm new to VB. I have a problem with de-selecting radio buttons in group box containers. I've tried to set focus to other objects under Sub New (initialization ) but it didn't work. The rdo buttons were still selected.

I've tried setting this: rdoName.Checked = False, as well, that didn't work. For some reason the top radio button in the group box is always selected!

I've also tried setting the rdoName.AutoChe ck = False. That works. The radio button at start up aren't selected but when i try to click on the rdo button, it won't let me.

So i need the radio button to be deselected in the group box and let me be able to click on it when i want to.

Someone help please.

I'm not sure you can de-select all radio buttons in a group. Their whole purpose is to choose between mutually exclusive options. I think the standard technique is, where required, to include a "null option" in the group. For example, the first or last option might be "None".

Hm... now that I'm thinking about it, I seem to recall someone mentioning a property which allows you to specify whether all the radio buttons in a group can be unselected. I don't recall what the property is, but have a look through the properties on the "group box container" as well as the radio button(s).

(I can't check it, as I'm using VB6 which works differently.)

RadioButton1.Ch ecked = False

That seems to do the trick for me...

I had the same problem, which is actually how I ended up here...

Anyway, I solved it, in mine at least. RadioButton1's default setting for Checked is False, but for some reason when I debugged it, it came up checked anyway until I changed the property to True and then back to False again.

I have no idea why.

Please use CheckBox instead of radio/optionbox.
