Seperate Forms 1

[XerxesTheMighty]

How would I make two seperate 'forms' on the same window?
For example:

I have four radio buttons. It switches between all four them (see below):
*0 blah, blah,......¯|
0 blah, blah,...... |switches between these four
0 blah, blah,...... |
0 blah, blah,......_|

But I want two of them to be seperate from the others. Like below:

*0 blah, blah,...... ¯|
0 blah, blah,...... _| Switch between these two.


*0 blah, blah,...... ¯|
0 blah, blah,...... _| Switch between these two seperately.

*=filled radio button

How would you accomplish this task?

Remove the Option Buttons.
Insert 2 frames.
Insert 2 option buttons in each frame. Draw them directly in the frame, don't drop them on the form and drag into the frame!

Radio buttons can be grouped using the WS_GROUP style

WS_GROUP screws it up. What is a frame and how do you code it? I don't use gui/visual. I do all code. FAQ222-2244 doesn't exist any more or the link is broken.

The FAQ link worked fine for me.

If you don't use gui/visual, then what method are you using to build your interface screens? Perhaps if you posted your code which creates the instance of a radio button, we can provide some help in how to group the buttons together.

As suggested by johnwm a frame is one control that can be used to accomplish such grouping. Once we know how your creating your controls, we might be able to help you code for a frame.


Good Luck

Oh... are you developing in VB? If so i should be the last person to be helping

Also about the FAQ link, if you tried to open in a new window that does not work, just click it and it will work.

Good luck

HWND radio1 = CreateWindow("Button", "This is a radio button", WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | BS_AUTORADIO, 1,2,3,4,hwnd,NULL,hInstance,NULL);

HWND radio2 = CreateWindow("Button", "This is a radio button", WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | BS_AUTORADIO, 1,2,3,4,hwnd,NULL,hInstance,NULL);

HWND radio3 = CreateWindow("Button", "This is a radio button", WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | BS_AUTORADIO, 1,2,3,4,hwnd,NULL,hInstance,NULL);

HWND radio4 = CreateWindow("Button", "This is a radio button", WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | BS_AUTORADIO, 1,2,3,4,hwnd,NULL,hInstance,NULL);

Use the same CreateWindow API, but use "Frame" as the Class Type. Also, change the Parent Window parameter for the radio button to be the associated frame. All of the Radio Buttons that are to be grouped together should have the same parent window, ie - the same frame. Each frame would then represent the grouping of radio buttons.

Hope this helps.
