Visual C++ and MFC Programming 2nd Edition

Chapter 20: List-Based Controls Visual C++ and MFC Fundamentals

When starting the new set, add a new radio button and set its Group property to True

(checked). Add the other radio buttons with the Group property set to False (unchecked)

or without the WS_GROUP style.

Once the radio buttons belong to the same group, if the user clicks one that is empty ?, it

gets filled with a big dot? and all the others become empty ?. This is the default and

most common appearance these controls can assume. Alternatively, you can give them

the appearance of a regular command button with 3-D borders. To do this, set the Push-

Like property to True. When the radio buttons appear as command buttons, the control

that is selected appear pushed or down while the others are up:

If you do not want the default 3-D design of radio buttons, you can make them flat by

setting the Flat property to True.

2. In the same way check the Group property of the Cup, None, and One radio buttons
   or set this property to True for them


3. Set the Group box of all the other radio buttons to unchecked or False


4. Except for the radio buttons in the Flavor group, check the Left Text property of all
   the other radio buttons and set their Left Text value to True
