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.AutoCheck = 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.Checked = 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.
