I have 8 radio buttons on my Windows form but I can only select up to the 
first 4.  If I click on any button beyond the 4th one and then come back into 
the program again the 4th button is always checked instead of the 5th or 6th 
etc.  I followed the logic thru the debugger and can see where the 5th button 
is progammatically checked but the window shows the 4th checked instead.  
Does anyone have a clue as to what's going on here?  All of the radio buttons 
are in a group box.

If there is a limit, it's certainly not four. Rather something like 
65536 or 4294967296.

Where are you storing the data? Have you checked if the stored value is 
correct or not?

How do you make the right radio button selected when you load the data?

The logic I am using is very simple.  When loading the program I check a 
passed variable.  The code goes like this:

if(dateformat.Compare("month") ==0)
{
    radioButton5.Checked = true;
 }

However, when the window is displayed, it shows radioButton4 checked 
instead.  I followed the logic in debug mode and that is the only radiobutton 
programmatically checked.  I don't understand how something so simple cannot 
work.

VB6 dev here, so dotNet Radio buttons may've changed (but I doubt it, since 
they were the same in VB3/NT3.51 as they are in VB6/XP).. They're not as 
easy to work with as they seem.

Since they change to "True" when they get focus, no matter what, you have to 
make sure of a few things before hiding/showing/disabling/enabling them. The 
simplest method I've seen (and used extensively) is to disable their 
container until focus is where you'd like it to be.

For example... if Button3's currently = True, but when your form shows (or 
you're enabling/disabling controls), the first control that gains focus is 
Button5, Button5 will be set = True, no matter what. So, disabling the 
container forces focus elsewhere, which prevents this problem... since my 
apps control hardware and are used in the cleanroom, we don't allow focus to 
"stick" to a control that may cause something to move... too many people can 
walk up and lean on the keyboard, etc.... so, I usually drop a picturebox on 
the form, set its background = form's background and set focus to that. 
Since the picturebox doesn't show a focus rectangle, and there's no code in 
its click event, people can lean on the keyboard all they want without 
worry.

In your case, maybe you have a textbox or command button to set focus to, 
instead.... what ever the case, you'll probably find your "rouge radio 
button" that keeps setting itself = true is getting focus without your 
involvement..

This is really crazy.  The only way I can keep radiobutton4 from being 
checked even though radiobutton5 is checked is to disable radiobutton4.  
However, then if radiobutton6 is checked then the check mark goes to 
radiobutton5, the one above it.  If I disable radiobutton5 when checking 
radiobutton6 the check mark will go back to radiobutton4.  I removed and 
re-added the radiobuttons but to no avail. I still get the same problem.  
Simply put. the system will not properly handle beyond 3 radio buttons in the 
same group.  Such a simple program and I am spinning my wheels.  It couldn't 
be a bug could it?

Surely it's a bug.  But it's probably in your code.

Unfortunately, you haven't shared that with us.  So it's not possible for  
us to point it out.

If you can post a concise-but-complete code sample that reliably  
reproduces the problem, it should be possible to provide a more complete  
answer.

I am pasting the entire code for the C# program below.  As I mentioned 
earlier I can follow the logic in debug mode and I can see where radiobutton5 
is set to checked but it still shows radiobutton4 with the check  when the 
window is displayed.

namespace WindowsApplication1
{
    public partial class convertdate : Form
    {

        public string xdateformat;

        public convertdate(string field, string dateformat)
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            label2.Text = field;

             xdateformat = dateformat;

            if (dateformat.CompareTo("1") == 0)
                radioButton1.Checked = true;
            else
                if (dateformat.CompareTo("101") == 0)
                {
                    radioButton2.Checked = true;
                    radioButton1.Checked = false;
                }
                else
            if (dateformat.CompareTo("107") == 0)
               {
                    radioButton3.Checked = true;
                    radioButton1.Checked = false;
                }
                else
                    if (dateformat.CompareTo("year") == 0)
                    {
                        radioButton4.Checked = true;
                        radioButton1.Checked = false;

That wasn't a complete code sample.

Also, as a minor suggestion for making your code more pleasant for others  
to read: when writing "if/else if/else" statements, it's customary to  
avoid excessive indentation by writing "else if" on the same line, and  
indenting each "else if" and the final "else" the same amount as the  
initial "if".

We need the code behind the form.  That's where the grouping of radio 
buttons is controlled.  You have a grouping error.

There's nothing wrong with your code, specifically, I pasted it into
an application
and it worked fine. The problem is probably in what you do with the
xdateformat
variable after the form closes. Can you show the code that calls this
form?

Here is the form code.  I noticed that there are some buttons in between the 
radio buttons.  Perhaps, that is what is causing the problem.  Anyhow, I 
deleted the group box and re-added the radio buttons and now it is working 
properly.  I don't know how it became faulty in the first place.  I still 
think there is a bug somewhere that caused it to become screwed up because I 
designed this window in the same manner as all others using Visual Studio 
2005.  I did not override any behind the scene code.  Thanks to everyone who 
replied to this problem.  If anyone knows what is faulty about the code 
below, please let me know as I normally don't look at the behind the form 
code.

I don't see anything obviously wrong, but then I didn't bother to try to  
run it either.  The only slightly incongruous thing is that the TabStop  
properties for your RadioButton instances are not contiguous.  It's  
possible that the RadioButton cycling code depends on them being  
contiguous, though I have to say I've never noticed that limitation before.

The "some buttons in between the radio buttons" doesn't matter, because  
the only are "in between" in terms of the order of execution of their  
instantiation.  The buttons aren't actually in the GroupBox, nor does it  
appears to me that any of their initialization affects any of the  
initialization of the RadioButton instances or the GroupBox itself.

Basically, I didn't see anything in the Designer code you posted that I  
think the Designer _shouldn't_ be able to generate, given specific user  
input.  But I can't say for sure whether it's simply that the user input  
was wrong, or the Designer incorrectly interpreted the user input.

I don't really know what caused the problem either but I will remember to 
just delete and re-add a group box the next time the problem occurs.
