person class

[glda19]

hi
I have a person class
Where I store the name, the city, how many sons and daughter he have.
But I have a groupbox with 3 radio buttons not married , married and lives alone.
How can I store then in the class person

[Niya]

You can use an enum:-

Public Enum PersonStatus
    Married
    NotMarried
    LivesAlone
End Enum
 
Public Class Person
    ' Other properties.....
 
    Public Property Status As PersonStatus
End Class

[glda19]

can you give me a example
So I can see it what the code does

[Niya]

What do you mean what does it do ? Isn't it obvious from the code I posted ?

[glda19]

no im learing vb
and I need a working example to see it how it works

[Niya]

Its a simple property just like any other. You set the Status property just like you set any other property. The VS IDE intellisense would automatically give you the enum options when you try to set the property in code.

but how can I give the status of the radio button to the classe

[Niya]

Here is an example:-

'
        Dim p As New Person
 
        If rbLivesAlone.Checked Then p.Status = PersonStatus.LivesAlone
        If rbMarried.Checked Then p.Status = PersonStatus.Married
        If rbNotMarried.Checked Then p.Status = PersonStatus.NotMarried

rbLivesAlone, rbMarried and rbNotMarried are your radio buttons.

so I have to put the name in a listbox
When I have set married an I click on the item in the listbox the radiobutton married must selected.

Then set it by changing the Checked property of the RadioButton.
