Hi
using VS 2008 C# winforms

I was hoping someone might have an idea on how to do this

I have a custom user control in my winforms projrct.
Each control has a textbox and a single radio button.

I can add the control to a winforms ok.

What i want to do is add multiple instances of this control to a
winforms which i can do but...

i want the radio buttons in each of the customs controls added to act
as if they were all in one group and be mutually exclusive when
selected. So if i dd 5 instances of the custom control i have 5 radio
buttons.
But of course being in a custom control they dont function that way
and i was wondering if anyone had any idea of how to achieve this

thans for any help

You have virtually no choice other than raising an event from the custom
control when a radio button is checked and then broadcasting that to the
other controls. So one control will raise the event and the parent form will
need to call a method (which you'll provide) in the other custom controls
(in that group) telling them to uncheck their radio buttons.
