[RESOLVED] Option Button

[phimtau123]

HI i have a question

So i have 4 option( opt1, opt2, opt3, opt4) button each represent a option inside my database. and i'm reading these option into a recordset. So when i run the program, if the user chose a record the option button would be set to TRUE or False base on value in my databse.
here is my code:

Private Sub ListView1_DblClick()
    If ListView1.ListItems.count > 0 Then
        varFillCombo.MoveFirst
        x = ListView1.SelectedItem.Index
        varFillCombo.Move (x - 1)
        If varFillCombo!Chamber = "CH1" Then
            optCH1WP.Value = varFillCombo!Warn_Page
            optCH1WE.Value = varFillCombo!Warn_Email
            optCH1HP.Value = varFillCombo!Halt_Page
            optCH1HE.Value = varFillCombo!Halt_Email
        End If
            
        'If Not IsNull(varFillCombo!Warn_Page) Then  = varFillCombo!Name
    End If
    
        
    
End Sub

Now when i'm stepping through the program n checking the GUI, the op1 one would set to true, then if opt2 was true, opt1 would be reset back to false, and opt2 set to true. But if opt3 was false then op2 would still be true. Then if opt4 was true then opt2 was reset back to false.

Does anyone know why it does this?

thank
Does anyone know y it does this?

Option buttons are used to present choices where only one item from a group may be chosen. Use checkboxes instead.

[BruceG]

Use checkboxes rather than option buttons. With option buttons, the "true one" is exclusive within the group the contains the option buttons, which is why when one is set to true, all others in the group are set to false.

Are you doing this with VBA or are you using VB6?

i am doing this in vb6.
If i use the checked box, the value for check is 1, and the reference value i have in the database is either true or false. How would i go about setting this up?

Private Sub ListView1_DblClick()
    If ListView1.ListItems.Count > 0 Then
        varFillCombo.MoveFirst
        x = ListView1.SelectedItem.Index
        varFillCombo.Move (x - 1)
        If varFillCombo!Chamber = "CH1" Then
            If varFillCombo!warn_page = "True" Then
                chkopt1.Value = 1
            Else
                chkopt1.Value = 0
        End If
            
        
    End If
End Sub

something like that for each of the box?

[MartinLiss]

As was suggested, you should use checkboxes and in the code you show you are missing an End If.
