Push button problem

Jess84 — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 23:59:26 GMT

I have a program that I'm writing that has about 5 push buttons for a user to select different scenarios. However if the user pushes one button and then another without turning off the first, then both buttons are then on and therefore both scenarios run. How can I make it so that if one button is pushed, it will turn off when another button is pushed?

Just use the radio button control.

better,----- use a enum, combo box, or ring control to select one of several optional (and exclusive) "scenarios"

The radio button control is an enum that selects one of several optional (and exclusive) "scenarios". Try it.

I'll look into both options. I'm still a newbie to the whole thing so any tips are appreciated 🙂

Thank you! I used a ring and it worked out great.
