How to get a checked radio button in a groupbox? [duplicate]

This question already has answers here: 开发者_开发问答 Which Radio button in the group is checked? (14 answers) Closed 1 year ago.

I have a lot of radio buttons in a groupbox. Normally I will check each radio button individually using If radiobutton1.Checked = True Then.

But I think maybe there is smart way to check which radio button being checked in a groupbox. Any idea?

---

try this

Dim rButton As RadioButton = 
        GroupBox1.Controls
       .OfType(Of RadioButton)
       .FirstOrDefault(Function(r) r.Checked = True)

this will return the Checked RadioButton in a GroupBox

Note that this is a LINQ query, and you must have

Imports System.Linq

If you do not, your IDE/Compiler may indicate that OfType is not a member of System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlCollection

---

If you add them (Load event for instance) to a List you could use LINQ:

Dim checkedRadioButton as RadioButton
checkedRadioButton = 
    radioButtonList.FirstOrDefault(Function(radioButton) radioButton.Checked))

This should be OK because there is a single one checked at the most.

EDIT Even better: just query the Controls collection of the GroupBox:

Dim checkedRadioButton as RadioButton
checkedRadioButton = 
    groupBox.Controls.OfType(Of RadioButton)().FirstOrDefault(Function(radioButton) radioButton.Checked))

Be aware that this will cause problems if there are no RadioButtons in the Groupbox!

'returns which radio button is selected within GroupBox passed
Private Function WhatRadioIsSelected(ByVal grp As GroupBox) As String
    Dim rbtn As RadioButton
    Dim rbtnName As String = String.Empty
    Try
        Dim ctl As Control
        For Each ctl In grp.Controls
            If TypeOf ctl Is RadioButton Then
                rbtn = DirectCast(ctl, RadioButton)
                If rbtn.Checked Then
                    rbtnName = rbtn.Name
                    Exit For
                End If
            End If
        Next
    Catch ex As Exception
        Dim stackframe As New Diagnostics.StackFrame(1)
        Throw New Exception("An error occurred in routine, '" & stackframe.GetMethod.ReflectedType.Name & "." & System.Reflection.MethodInfo.GetCurrentMethod.Name & "'." & Environment.NewLine & "  Message was: '" & ex.Message & "'")
    End Try
    Return rbtnName
End Function

I know it is tagged vb.net but here is a c# example

var checkedButton = GroupBox1.Controls.OfType<RadioButton>()
                                      .FirstOrDefault(rb => rb.Checked);

Here is a test program with a groupbox with four radio buttons.

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Form1_Shown(sender As Object, _
                            e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Shown
        RadioButton1.Tag = New Action(AddressOf rb1Action)
        RadioButton2.Tag = New Action(AddressOf rb2Action)
        RadioButton3.Tag = New Action(AddressOf rb3Action)
        RadioButton4.Tag = New Action(AddressOf rb4Action)
    End Sub

    Private Sub rb1Action()
        Debug.WriteLine("1 " & RadioButton1.Checked)
    End Sub

    Private Sub rb2Action()
        Debug.WriteLine("2 " & RadioButton2.Checked)
    End Sub

    Private Sub rb3Action()
        Debug.WriteLine("3 " & RadioButton3.Checked)
    End Sub

    Private Sub rb4Action()
        Debug.WriteLine("4 " & RadioButton4.Checked)
    End Sub

    Private Sub RadioButton_CheckedChanged(sender As System.Object, _
                                            e As System.EventArgs) Handles _
                                        RadioButton1.CheckedChanged, _
                                        RadioButton2.CheckedChanged, _
                                        RadioButton3.CheckedChanged, _
                                        RadioButton4.CheckedChanged

        Dim aRadioButton As RadioButton = DirectCast(sender, RadioButton)
        If aRadioButton.Checked Then
            Dim rbAct As Action = DirectCast(aRadioButton.Tag, Action)
            rbAct.Invoke()
        End If
    End Sub
End Class

You can run a foreach loop to iterate with the scans of controls RadioButton inside the GroupBox, so using the Control, see example below.

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    'RadioButton checked
    Dim ceckedRadioButton As Integer = 0
    'Total RadioButton on GroupBox
    Dim totalRadioButton As Integer = 0

    'Iteration and check RadioButton selected
    For Each myControl As RadioButton In Me.GroupBox1.Controls.OfType(Of RadioButton)()
        'If RadioButton is checked
        If myControl.Checked Then
            'increases variable ceckedRadioButton
            ceckedRadioButton += 1
        End If

        'increases variable totalRadioButton
        totalRadioButton += 1
    Next

    If ceckedRadioButton > 0 Then
        'RadioButon show how many are selected
        MessageBox.Show("Were selected" & " " & ceckedRadioButton.ToString & " " & "RadioButton on" & " " & totalRadioButton.ToString)
    Else
        'No selected RadioButton
        MessageBox.Show("No selected RadioButton")
    End If
End Sub

Bye

I have simple one and easy

For Each b As RadioButton In GroupBox1.Controls.OfType(Of RadioButton)()
        If b.Checked = True Then
            MsgBox("I hope that will help you")
        End If
    Next

There are 3 RadioButtons: RadioButton1, RadioButton2 y RadioButton3

'A handler for the click event of the 3 buttons is created
Private Sub Radios_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles RadioButton1.Click, RadioButton2.Click, RadioButton3.Click
    Dim rb As RadioButton
    rb = sender
    MsgBox(rb.Name) 'Displays the name of the selected control or that he was made the click
End Sub

I have created three radio buttons from the item names from a table. I also create an event handler for that. Now when I try to get which button is checked by its text value in a msgbox.It shows the correct name but msgbox popup twice for a single choice.I am using VB.net 2012.

Private Sub iButton_checked(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
    For Each b As RadioButton In grpgodown.Controls.OfType(Of RadioButton)()
        If b.Checked = True Then
            MsgBox(b.Text)
        End If
    Next
End Sub

---

Private Sub BTN_OK_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles BTN_OK.Click

    For Each Ctrl In GroupBox1.Controls
        If Ctrl.checked Then MsgBox(Ctrl.text) 'for show select RadioButton Check
    Next

Select Case True
    RadioButton1.checked
        'Do this action for Rad1
    RadioButton2.checked
        'Do this action for Rad2
    RadioButton3.checked
        'Do this action for rad3
End Select
