Problem with Option Buttons

[rnathan]

Hi all,

I have a few option buttons in one of the forms in my application. I have set the values of all the Opt buttons to False. But when the Form gets displayed, for some reason one of the Opt button's value becomes True. I am not setting the value to True in my code and it is always the same button that gives me the problem. Even if I set the value to False to this button right after I load the Form, the next Opt button in the tab index becomes True. I have VB 6.0(SP5) and NT 4.0. Thanks in advance.

Did you set these option buttons up in an arry? If so, I think one of them must be selected. So it will set one of them for you.

No. This is not an array.

An easy way top set all of the option buttons on a form to false:

For Each Control In Me
If TypeOf Control Is OptionButton Then
Control.Value = False
End If
Next

I tried this, and had an OptionButton with value set to True, and all were unchecked when the form loaded.

Good luck. I used to rock and roll every night and party every day. Then it was every other day. Now I'm lucky if I can find 30 minutes a week in which to get funky. - Homer Simpson

Place a command button control on the same form as the option buttons. Leave it visible, but place it *outside* of the form's borders. Also, set it's TabStop property to True, and it's TabIndex to 1.

When the form appears, none of the radio buttons will have a dot in them. If you press tab, however, the first radio button will highlight. You can avoid this by setting the TabStop property of all of the radio buttons to False.

Thank you guys for all the suggestions. I've decided to use Robert's idea. Seems to be working.
