Menu items as radio buttons

[RBrowning1958]

Hello,

Is there a way to group menu items so they act like radio buttons -
that is when one is checked the others in the same group are unchecked
- I'm looking for a property to group menu items but can't see it.
Delphi's VCL has GroupIndex for example.

Ray,

You would have to implement this yourself. The only thing that the
MenuItem class has to help with this is the RadioCheck property, to indicate
that a menu item that is checked is mutually exclusive from the others. You
still have to manually set the checked state of the other menu items in your
group.

I don't believe there's anything of the sort in .net, though it isn't
hard to implement -- just use a generic handler for all the buttons, and
do something like:

private void emulateRadio_click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
NumberOneToolStripButton.Enabled = (sender ==
NumberOneToolStripButton);
NumberTwoToolStripButton.Enabled = (sender ==
NumberTwoToolStripButton);
NumberThreeToolStripButton.Enabled = (sender ==
NumberThreeToolStripButton);
}

}

Replacing Enabled with Checked, of course...

Nicholas,

I am using VS 2005 and I don't see a property called RadioCheck - what
am I missing?
