Menu items as radio buttons

Re: Menu items as radio buttons

Ray,

You would have to implement this yourself. The only thing that the
MenuItem class has to help with this is the RadioCheck property, to indicate
that a menu item that is checked is mutually exclusive from the others. You
still have to manually set the checked state of the other menu items in your
group.

Hello,

Is there a way to group menu items so they act like radio buttons -
that is when one is checked the others in the same group are unchecked
- I'm looking for a property to group menu items but can't see it.
Delphi's VCL has GroupIndex for example.

I don't believe there's anything of the sort in .net, though it isn't
hard to implement -- just use a generic handler for all the buttons, and
do something like:

private void emulateRadio_cl ick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
NumberOneToolSt ripButton.Enabl ed = (sender ==
NumberOneToolSt ripButton);
NumberTwoToolSt ripButton.Enabl ed = (sender ==
NumberTwoToolSt ripButton);
NumberThreeTool StripButton.Ena bled = (sender ==
NumberThreeTool StripButton);
}

Replacing Enabled with Checked, of course...

Nicholas,

I am using VS 2005 and I don't see a property called RadioCheck - what
am I missing?
