Radio button event

[Guest]

On a form, there are just 2 radio buttons; nothing else is on the form. My
user will select either one as neither will be default. I want an "On Click"
event for that radio button but that isn't an option. The "On Got Focus"
event doesn't trigger either. I don't want to put an action button on the
form.

Any suggestions?

How can I force an object to Not have focus?

If the user can select only one of these buttons, then they belong in an
option group. If that's so, then the AfterUpdate event of the option
group frame is what you want to use.

Something has to have focus. If there are no other controls on the form, one
of those two option buttons has to have the focus. (You could disable them,
in which case the form itself would have the focus, but then the user would
not be able to select either of the controls.) You could add another control
to the form, set its Visible property to False and its Tab Index property to
0, then it would be the first control to receive the focus. But I don't
understand why you can't use the AfterUpdate event?

I actually put the event on the option group, which has an On Click event
procedure. Then used Select Case...End Select code to get what I wanted. I
don't know if that's the most elegant way, but it worked for my needs.

Thanks to everyone for your help!

Brendan, I don't think an invisible control is going to receive the
focus. One could make the control infinitesimal in size while leaving
it visible, though.

Oops! That'll teach me to post without testing. You can do it with a command
button without having to make it infinitesimally small, though, by setting
the Transparent property to True. (The advantage is that it's a lot easier
to find in design view!
