Checkbox groups? MFC VC++ 6.0

[a3gupta]

Hello, I am writing a dialog based application in VC++ 6.0. In one of my dialog box, The check boxes aren't grouped right. I have four checkboxes and they need to be in groups of two. So If I check one box in one of the group the other one from the same group should be unchecked. But, as of now, you can check all 4 together at the same time, or with sometimes, the wrong button gets unchecked etc. This may be a basic question, but I will will appreciate if you could help me with this problem. Thanks! Sincerely, Anjum Gupta.

You should use Radio buttons instead of checkboxes, otherwise, you'll have to do the mutual exclusive thing by hand. ~RaGE();

If you want to invent groups, the first member of your group has to be marked as 'group' in it's corresponding properties. In your case that means that 2 radio boxes are assigned to be a group and the other 2 not. Beside that, I think the elements that belong to a group have to follow the 'group leader' (your element marked as group) in the tab order. Sh*t ... just realized that you wanted to know sth. about check boxes .... so the post of my predecessor seems to be valid...:-O

Thanks to both of you for your responses. I am using radio buttons and that Tab ordering tip was very helpful. It is working now! :-) Gupta.
