Examples

The following code example creates and initializes a RadioButton, gives it the appearance of a toggle control, sets its AutoCheck property to false, and adds it to a Form.

private void InitializeMyRadioButton()
{
   // Create and initialize a new RadioButton.
   RadioButton radioButton1 = new RadioButton();

   // Make the radio button control appear as a toggle button.
   radioButton1.Appearance = Appearance.Button;

   // Turn off the update of the display on the click of the control.
   radioButton1.AutoCheck = false;

   // Add the radio button to the form.
   Controls.Add(radioButton1);
}

Private Sub InitializeMyRadioButton()
    ' Create and initialize a new RadioButton. 
    Dim radioButton1 As New RadioButton()
       
    ' Make the radio button control appear as a toggle button.
    radioButton1.Appearance = Appearance.Button
       
    ' Turn off the update of the display on the click of the control.
    radioButton1.AutoCheck = False
       
    ' Add the radio button to the form.
    Controls.Add(radioButton1)
End Sub

Remarks

If the Appearance value is set to Normal, then the RadioButton control is drawn with a circular check box. If the value is set to Button, then the RadioButton is drawn as a control that can be toggled to an up or down state. Either type can display text, an image, or both.
