Radiobuttons

[Otto]

I would need 3 groups of independent radiobuttons.
I use a resource. How can I group the buttons?
Could someone help me please.
Thanks in advance
Otto

Otto,

In your resources, don't define the radiobuttons as "Auto radio button" (Resource Workshop). You need to define them just as a simple "Radio button".

In your source just use :

Code: Select all  Expand view

REDEFINE RADIO cField1 ID 101,102,103 OF oDlg
REDEFINE RADIO cField2 ID 104,105,106 OF oDlg
REDEFINE RADIO cField3 ID 107,108,109 OF oDlg

cField1, cField2 and cField3 will return a numeric value 1, 2 or 3, depending on your choice in each group of radiobuttons.

If you use "Auto radio button", I think that all radio buttons are handled in one group.

It works fine here.

Good luck.

Hello Michael,

Also try to switch on the tab stop attribute to the first radio button of each group.

Otto,

The first radio of a group of radios must use Group and TabStop: WS_GROUP | WS_TABSTOP

Here you have an example built with PellesC:
