hi all,
i m creating a windows form and using 4 radio buttons on the same form.
and i dont want to use group box or panel.
see my prob...

Suppose there are 4 radion buttons on the form. There is no groupbox or
panel to seperate them. By default, the 4 radio buttons are mutually
exclusive. Is it possible to group them into two groups?

For example,
Gender ( )rb1 ( )rb2
Marital status ( )rb3 ( )rb4

anyone have any idea about it?
thanks in advance

Solution 1

The radio groups do not have to be grouped as children of the control GroupBox. All you need is to make them children and the same control, no matter of what type. Their parent could be an instance of Panel or any custom control derived from this type.

Solution 2

Sure, you can select the two Gender Radio Buttons and set GroupName property to any value "Gender" for example and then select the Next two Radio Buttons and set the GroupName property to a different value
