You mean user should be able to select only one checkbox at a time?

Use radio button as radio button. This way, you could avoid confusing the users.

Take the CheckedListBox and call ItemCheck Event and use below code It will behave like Radio buttons (It works for me):-

C#

private void chkListBox_ItemCheck(object sender, ItemCheckEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.NewValue == CheckState.Checked)
        {
            for (int item = 0; item < chkListBox.Items.Count; item++)
            {
                chkListBox.SetItemChecked(item, false);
            }
        }
    }

If you are referring the design then here is code

if you have two check boxes (Chk1,Chk2) then code like this

on chk1 click event

C#

chk2.Checked=false;

on chk2 click event

C#

chk1.Checked=false;

You are still talking this non-sense. I said this is not related to UI design.

RDBurmon 9-Jun-12 6:00am

But OP want to use check box as option button and functionality of option button is It should be selected only one in group right ? That's why I have given this answer and I don't think this is not a good practice.Please re-read the question and then look at the answer losmac . If you feel that you was wrong then please vote the answer with higher vote.

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 9-Jun-12 22:52pm

This is a wrong approach. Ridiculous question of the type "I want..." should not be answered like that. Explaining how to do wrong thing is making harm instead of helping. You just follow the mistake by OP and try to justify this mistake. The fact you don't see how this is a bad practice is just your problem. You "re-read the question" is not appropriate. We perfectly understood your question; this is you who don't understand important of certain things in UI design.

Why we are talking about "UI design" here ? that's why I told to re-read the question. Its not related to UI.

Maciej Los 21-Jun-12 13:36pm

@RDBurmon, english is not my native language, so i'll try as hard as i can to explain why your answer is not correct at all. As you wrote: "only one (checkbox should be selected) in a group" at the same time. So, place these checkboxes on the GroupBox, generate the events for both checkboxes, copy and paste your code. Insert a breakpoint inside these events, run the application and convince yourself why this is not a good answer. Try the same trick with 10 checkboxes ;)
