RadioButton Control

Description

RadioButton controls present a set of two or more mutually exclusive choices to the operator.
While radio buttons and check boxes may appear to function similarly, there is an important difference: when a user selects a radio button, the other radio buttons in the same group cannot be selected as well.

Usage

RadioButton controls should be grouped together in a GroupBox control.
Each time the operator clicks on one of the radiobuttons in a group, the other buttons are deselected.

Use the Click event to determine if the operator clicked the radiobutton. Use the Checked property to determine if the user checked the box.
In some cases, it may be convenient to use one click event handler for all radiobuttons in a group.
You can use the Sender$ parameter to determine which radiobutton was clicked. Sender$ is the name of the control that sent the event.

Function frmSetup_OptionsClick(Sender$ As String)  
  Boolean checked  
  GGet frmSetup.Sender$.Checked, checked  
  If checked Then  
    Select Sender$  
      Case "RadioButton1":  
        g_Option1 = True  
      Case "RadioButton2":  
        g_Option2 = True  
    Send  
  EndIf  
Fend  

Setting RadioButton Appearance
Use the BorderStyle, ForeColor, BackColor, Font, Image, ImageAlign, and TextAlign properties to change the appearance of the radiobutton.
