Hope someone can provide some help here. In an application we are
developing with VB.NET, we generate several radio buttons on the main form
dynamically. We want to programatically mark a specific radio button as
"checked" or "unchecked". The buttons reside on a panel, and accessing them
via frmMain.pnlButtons.Control.Item(X).... does not give us access to the
"Checked" property. Seems like we ought to be able to do this...any
suggestions?

Thanks.

\\\
DirectCast(frmMain.pnlButtons.Controls(X), CheckBox).Checked = True

Hi Steve,

It depends how you create them, if it is not using an array it should be as
simple as

\\\
me.myradiobutton.checked = true
///

Are you sure of that, does a cast of a CheckBox also fit for a RadioButton?

:-)) (I know it: typos)

(Hi steve if you read it and you are able to access them using that X,
change CheckBox for RadioButton)

Thanks, Herfried. That works great...just what I was looking for. Don't
really understand why we need to do that, but I can live with it. Thanks
again. :-)
