Radio Buttons


The primary use of RadioButtons is to give users certain choice options. Different from checkboxes the user can not select more than one option at a time. In other words it is basically a choice of this or that. However RadioButtons can also be embedded in GroupBoxes to allow for more than one choice option in one Windows form. I will use the following example to demonstrate. 

Create a new project. From the Toolbox menu create three RadioButtons on the form. Select the GroupBox icon and draw a GroupBox on the form. Now inside the GroupBox draw three more RadioButtons. Change the text attribute of RadioButton1 to "Form-A", Radiobutton2 to "Form-B" and RadioButton3 to "Form-C".
Change the text attribute of RadioButton4 to "Blue", RadioButton5 to "Green" and RadioButton6 to "White". Your form should look something like this.

Now double click on each RadioButton and change its event handling code to the following:

Public Class Form1

Private Sub RadioButton1_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal ...
Me.Text = "Form-A"
End Sub

Private Sub RadioButton2_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal...
Me.Text = "Form-B"
End Sub

Private Sub RadioButton3_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal ...
Me.Text = "Form-C"
End Sub

Private Sub
RadioButton4_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal ...
Me.BackColor = Color.Blue
End Sub

Private Sub
RadioButton5_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal ...
Me.BackColor = Color.Green
End Sub

Private Sub
RadioButton6_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal ...
Me.BackColor = Color.White
End Sub
End Class

When you run the application you will see that when you select one of the top three Radiobuttons
