Do I need to use GroupBox to separate groups of radio buttons on Win form?

[Ronald S. Cook]

Do multiple sets of radio buttons on a form have to be "separated" via group
boxes?

I remember there used to be a "group" property on radio buttons but I guess
not anymore.

I just don't really want to use a GroupBox control if I don't have to
(although I could make it's border color the same as the form background I
suppose).

Thanks,
Ron

The default behavior, if I recall correctly, is that radio buttons grouped
within any container control operate together. If you like, you can use a
Panel or even a UserControl, neither of which have any visual behavior by
default, to group radio buttons invisibly.

Of course, you could always just link the group buttons by appropriate
event handlers that do the right thing, deselecting the other buttons in a
group when a particular button is selected.
