Re: toolstrip radio style buttons

That post was a bit premature.  That link isn't very useful.  And
anyway, the easiest solution seems to just use the 'Click()' event to
set the checked state of the clicked button while remembering to
'uncheck' the last button clicked (by keeping a class variable to it).

(Wow, that's a lot of code)

My bad,

        It looks like you can do something with the CheckOnClick value
for
the toolstrip button, it turns the button into a stay down, and then
you'll
have to add to the _Click events for each of the other buttons to set
all
the others to Checked = false. (basically what an opt does under the
hood).
Not as clean as a true option, but as long as you're not putting a
couple
hundred of them on the toolstrip it should work ;)

Robert,

I should have been clearer...

It doesn't seem that there is a way to set the button style for buttons
added to toolstrips as 'radio button'.  Am I missing something?

Robert,

That's exactly what I want to do!  However, I can't set a button to a
'radio button' style. ;-)

Peter,

        Use the Radio Button, and set its appearance to button.

HTH

Subject: [DOTNET-WINFORMS] toolstrip radio style buttons

VS2005

I am using a toolstrip control inside a form panel.  I have added some
buttons that I want to behave like 'radio' buttons (only one can be
selected at a time).  It seems the functionality I want could be
achieved with a drop down box - however, I want to use buttons.  How is
this done, please?

Peter
