Option buttons, also called radio buttons, are typically used in a

group of two or more. At any one time, only one button in the group
can be "on". Clicking an option button turns it "on" and turns all
other buttons in the group "off".

Control arrays

Option button groups operate in a container control, such as a

frame. Therefore, different sets of option button groups should be
placed in their own frame on the form. Recall how to place a control
directly inside a frame: either (1) single click it from the toolbox and
draw it in, or (2) double-click it from the toolbox, cut it from the form,
and paste it into the frame. If a group of option buttons is not
contained within a frame, then the form itself acts as their container.
In code, to perform an action based on which option button the user
clicked, do one of two things:
(1) To perform an action as soon as the user clicks an option button,
place code in the Click event of the option button.
(2)
To perform a "delayed" action, such as when the user clicks
a command button, check the Value property of the option
buttons in the group. If the Value = True, then the button is
"on".

Option Buttons
Check Boxes
Math Game
(o) Hangman
(o) Tic Tac Toe
(o) Calculator
(o) Cryptogram
(o) Concentration

Examples using both methods follow. (Note: The examples in this

topic use the built-in color constants vbRed, vbGreen, and
vbBlue. More information on color constants is provided in the
section at the end of this topic.)
First, a frame containing three option buttons, named optRed,
optGreen, and optBlue respectively was placed on the form shown
below:

Database Guide

User login
Username: *

Password: *

Log in
Create new account
Request new password

Next, code was written for the Click event of each of the option
buttons. The code causes the background color of the form to
change to the appropriate color when one of the option buttons is
clicked:
Private Sub optRed_Click()
Form1.BackColor = vbRed

End Sub
Private Sub optGreen_Click()
Form1.BackColor = vbGreen
End Sub
Private Sub optBlue_Click()
Form1.BackColor = vbBlue
End Sub
If the program was to be run at this point, you would get immediate
results when you clicked one of the option buttons as soon as
you clicked one of the option buttons, the form would change color.
To demonstrate the "delayed" action, let's say the above program
was modified as follows: First, a command button named
cmdChangeColor is placed on the form:

Second, all code from the option buttons' Click event (shown in the
previous example above) is removed.
Third, code for the cmdChangeColor_Click event is written as
follows:
Private Sub cmdChangeColor_Click()
If optRed.Value = True Then
Form1.BackColor = vbRed
ElseIf optGreen.Value = True Then
Form1.BackColor = vbGreen
Else
Form1.BackColor = vbBlue
End If
End Sub
If the program was to be run at this point, clicking on one of the
option buttons would not cause an immediate result it would
simply set the Value of the clicked button to True. Only when you
clicked the "Change Color" button would the background color of
the form change, based on the code above.
Syntax Notes:
The Value property is the default property of the option button and
can therefore be dropped when coding, as in:
If optRed = True Then . . .
Since Value is a Boolean property, you can drop the "= True" from
the conditional expression, making it possible to cut the coding
down further to:
If optRed Then . . .
Coding an Option Button Control Array
Using the same scenarios as in the examples above, suppose we
used a control array for the set of three option buttons (a control

array called optColor indexed 0 through 2 instead of the individual

buttons optRed, optGreen, and optBlue).
The coding for the "immediate" action (using the option button's
click event) would be:
Private Sub optColor_Click(Index As
Integer)
Select Case Index
Case 0
Form1.BackColor = vbRed
Case 1
Form1.BackColor = vbGreen
Case 2 ' could also use "Case Else"
here
Form1.BackColor = vbBlue
End Select
End Sub
The coding for the "delayed" action (using a command button)
would be:
Private Sub cmdChangeColor_Click()
Dim intLoopCtr As Integer
Dim intIndex As Integer
For intLoopCtr = 0 To 2
If optColor(intLoopCtr).Value = True
Then
intIndex = intLoopCtr
Exit For
End If
Next
Select Case intIndex
Case 0
Form1.BackColor = vbRed
Case 1
Form1.BackColor = vbGreen
Case 2 ' could also use "Case Else"
here
Form1.BackColor = vbBlue
End Select
End Sub

The sample program exercises each of the scenarios discussed

above. A screen shot is shown below:

Color Constants
VB provides a set of built-in constants that can be used to refer to
colors. Some of these were used in the sample program presented
in this topic. The available constants, from MSDN, are listed below:

Radio buttons

Sun, 03/11/2012 - 17:29 Rich (not verified)

I have to put together an evaluation instrument using Word 2007. I am not a code
specialist, so can you help me write code for the buttons?
example
1. Employee is punctual 4 3 2 1 0
2. Employee is professional 4 3 2 1 0
3. Employee is courteous 4 3 2 1 0
Each numeric option needs to correspond to a radio button and I will need to create
this in chart form.
If you could help me with this code, I think I could copy/paste/modify to complete all
sections of the survey.
Any time and assistance that you can give me will be very much appreciated.
Thank you,

Hey there! I am new to visual studio, and i have a project that is due and i need help to
get it started i have some coding and can get the insults to the message box but that is it.
1. The interface must include:
A textbox for the user to enter the name of the victim
A control that allows the user to select the number of adjectives to be included in the
insult (1-3)
A button to generate the insult
An output textbox where the insult will be displayed to the user
A button to clear the application so you can generate new insults with a new victim
A button that will display about information in a popup
2. The output textbox should display all insults generated, separated by a carriage
return; every time the user clicks the generate button a new insult is added to the textbox
3. An error message box should appear if the user tries to generate insults without
entering a victim's name first and not produce an insult as a result
4. The generator must randomly select each adjective and the single noun from a
possible set of adjectives and nouns; there must be at least 10 possible adjectives and 6
possible nouns; repeated adjectives are allowed
5. After randomly selecting the adjectives and noun, the generator then builds an insult
including the victim's name entered and displays in the output textbox. Every newly
generated insult must be displayed at the top of the textbox not the bottom!
6. This application must include some custom visual design (size, button size, fonts, form
icons, colors, etc) as well as be user-friendly!
7. All controls must be logically named
8. You should not have any large blocks of code that are repeated. This is known as
redundant code...however, handling multiple insult adjectives in this project tends to take
beginners down this route. Can you use loops to avoid this?
9. In the past, some students have explored Arrays when developing a solution for this
project. Although they do provide an efficient solution to the problem, this project
requires that NO ARRAYS are used.
this is the information! i got the form all layed out and trying to get the victims to go with
the radio button, but when i do that and typ my victim in and click the radio button only
the insults show up..

Dim txtNameEmp, txtworkdone, radbtnJ, radbtnA, radbtnT As String
Dim txtHours, lblPay As Double

lblPay = txtHour * 12 (<- Money they are suppose to earn for each hour)
ElseIf radbtnA = True Then
lblPay = txtHours * 10
ElseIf radbtnT = True Then
lblPay = txtHours * 8
End If
End Sub
I need to calculate how much an employee will earn if he works as: "J" = Permanent

worker $12, "A" = apprentice workers $10 and "T" = Temporary workers $8. I putted the 3
radio buttons in a Panel (container) and kept trying to figure out what is the problem here
but I don"t know... It keeps saying: "Variable 'radbtnJ' is used before it has been assigned
a value. A null reference exception could result at runtime" Can anyone help please!!!
reply

Variables

Wed, 03/02/2011 - 14:17 ChrisGT7

I believe the problem is at the way you have declared your variables.
You have only declared the "radbtny" as string and lblPay as Double. All the rest
variables have been declared as variant and the program doesn't know what type is
going to be used for. So when you try the "If radbtnJ = True Then" is a run-time error
because the variable radbtnJ is empty and it hasn't been assigned any value to it
yet.
Try this instead:
Dim txtNameEmp as String, txtworkdone as String, radbtnJ as String, radbtnA as
String, radbtnT As String
Dim txtHours as Double, lblPay As Double
I hope I helped you!

Use a control array

Sat, 02/19/2011 - 13:12 ChrisGT7

You should make an array of checkboxes. Here is what you have to do:
Create a checkbox, copy it and paste it. Answer yes to the question so VB can make
an array of checkboxes. Paste it as many times as you need. Place them at the order
you want. After this, go and correct the Index property of each checkbox. This is the
value you need. Double click any checkbox and the code should be something like
this:
Private Sub Check1_Click(Index As Integer)
If Check1(Index).Value Then Text1.Text = Index
End Sub

Option Button Matrix 2 x 4

Sat, 10/23/2010 - 13:28 Dan Nickell (not verified)

I am trying to develop a program that begins with a questionnaire with a set of 24

question. For each question, there are four option descriptors. The person answering the
questionnaire is supposed to indicate which option Best describes him/her and which
option Least describes him/her. For example:
Best Least Description
___ ___ Fair, just
___ ___ Pretty/Handsome
___ ___ Rich and Wealthy
___ ___ Liked and Admired
I want to use Option Buttons in this 2 x 4 array. Only one button can be 1 (true) in either of
the vertical columns and only one be 1 (true) in any of the rows, although both buttons
can be 0 (false) in any two of the rows. I can construct the matrix that works on the Row
level, but not the Column level...or vice versa, but not both rows AND columns at the
same time.
Any ideas?

Option button default

modify the option button property value = false. You can do it with all your option
buttons. To choose default, in declarations- general insert line with "option
button".value = true

Wow, honestly, I never understood Radio buttons untill i just read that. I knew how they
worked, but I couldn't get them to work.
Thanks a lot for this explanation, it really helped me.

Option button by
groups

Thu, 02/12/2009 - 19:37 Jose Luis Vargas (not verified)

Step 1. Create a container control (like a frame) inserted in your form.

Step 2. create one or more option buttons INSIDE a frame (or container control)
clicking over the frame.
To create another group, follow the same steps.
For each container control, with several option buttons, only activated one at time.

Excel and radio buttons

Wed, 07/01/2009 - 15:51 Jamesinsocal (not verified)

Just today I found a method to use radio buttons to plug values into excel cells.
I used the cell method.
For an example, create four radio buttons and make sure they are in the same
group. Then code:

Private Sub OptionButton1_Click()

Cells(1, 1) = 1
End Sub
Private Sub OptionButton2_Click()
Cells(1, 1) = 2
End Sub
Private Sub OptionButton3_Click()
Cells(1, 1) = 3
End Sub
Private Sub OptionButton4_Click()
Cells(1, 1) = 4
End Sub
Clicking each button changes the value in cell a1 aka...$a$1, and (1,1)
That should get you started.

Trying to set an option

Trying to set an option button for a YES and No option. can't simply relate the code to
this.. any HELP?

Setting an option

Wed, 01/23/2008 - 05:20 Anonymous

For you to set a no and a yes option you use the if statement and on the form there
must be two option boxes. For example if you have one of the option boxes as
optyes and the other as optno. Double click the two option boxes eg if you click the
yes option box the code will be as follow
if optyes.value = 1 then
here you write what you want to be displayed when the yes option box is clicked.
else
here you write what you want to be displayed if the yes option box is not clicked.
end if
You also do the same for the No option box only this time you replace the yes word
with no
I hope i've helped.

What about default settings?

Wed, 03/28/2007 - 09:16 Anonymous

Okay as far as it goes, but it doesn't say anything about how to set one of a set of buttons
as the default (i.e. that which is selected when a program starts. That looks like pretty
basic information to me, yet I can't find anything about it here!

The TabIndex property decides order the objects are selected in the form. You can
see this, when the user press the Tab key. That means, the object with the TabIndex
set to 0 will be the "default" selected. You can either assign the 0 TabIndex to
another object (like a CommandButton or a TextBox) or to a new object and hide it
(Visible property set to False).

After reading this tutorial

After reading this tutorial i learnt how option buttons using control arrays work for
delayed action ie via a command button which i failed to do earlier. This tutorial taught
that extra to me excellently.
