     HomeASP.NETWeb Controls> RadioButton 

RadioButton

The RadioButton Web server control is similar to CheckBox but RadioButtons are displayed as rounded instead of box. The class hierarchy for this control is as follows:

 Object
  Control
   WebControl
    CheckBox
     Radiobutton

Radiobutton Event

The default event of the RadioButton is the CheckedChanged event which looks like this in code:

Private Sub RadioButton1_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As _
System.EventArgs) Handles RadioButton1.CheckedChanged
'Implementation Omitted
End Sub

Notable property of the RadioButton control is the GroupName property which sets the radio button's group. The radio button will act in concert with the other members of the group.

RadioButton Sample

Drag three radio button's, a textbox and a button on to the form. Select each radio button and set the GroupName property for each to ABC. If you do not set the GroupName property to a common name then each radio button will act differently and when you make a selection all radio buttons will be rounded. In most cases, you want your users to select only one option from a given list and to accompolish that you need to set the GroupName property. The following code will display the text of the radio button selected in a textbox when the button is clicked. Select each radio button and set the Text as shown below and paste the following code:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As _
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
If RadioButton1.Checked Then
TextBox1.Text = "You heard about us through " & " " & RadioButton1.Text
ElseIf RadioButton2.Checked Then
TextBox1.Text = "You heard about us through " & " " & RadioButton2.Text
ElseIf RadioButton3.Checked Then
TextBox1.Text = "You heard about us through " & " " & RadioButton3.Text
End If
End Sub
