Hello

If you have 3 Items (Book, Cd, Both):

C#

private void Both_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Book.Checked = true;
    Cd.Checked = true;
}

private void Book_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (!Both.Checked)
        Cd.Checked = !Book.Checked;
    if (!Book.Checked)
        Both.Checked = false;
}

private void Cd_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (!Both.Checked)
        Book.Checked = !Cd.Checked;
    if (!Cd.Checked)
        Both.Checked = false;
}

hi,

if u need to check one at a time u can use radio buttons if you group them they allow to check one at time . if check-box need then u have to use events... or try simple j Query that will be useful

Happy Coding

This has been answered at length. I'm not sure what you think this added, except for an assumption that this is about a web site. I don't see where anyone says that is true.

If u want to check both then use checkboxes
eg:
// both selected

if((checkbox1.Checked==true)&&(checkbox2.Checked==true)

   label1.Text="Selected First and second";
			
	else if(checkbox1 .Checked ==true) 
			label1.Text="Selected First";
	else if (checkbox2 .Checked ==true)
			label1.Text="Selected second"; 
		else		 	
	label1.Text ="PleaseSelect";// doesnt check

Hope this helps.

Hi,

You'll have to use checkbox checked event
and there you can checked some thing like this

if(cd.checked)
book.unchecked

else
book.checked

Hi,

I think your requirement is like as.

After form load if any check box is checked by default then is should be unchecked after clicking on another Check Box.
You can use a bool variable which value is set true only on form load. Then use it CheckBox.check event.

In this exact case, you still need to use radio buttons:

You need 3 (three) of them: 1) CD, 2) Book, 3) Both.

Keep it simple!

when i click on CD, book should be unchecked, and when i click on book, then CD should be unchecked
So far so good.
Now when you say, in one case if i wish to click both Book and CD then both should be clicked.
How do you think that will be possible? Checking a checkbox, un-checks other. So you could logically never check both the checkboxes.

The only way you could do this keeping your 1st requirement intact is trigger check both option using a different control, say another checkbox which says 'Check Both'. (The way how to do it using events is already described in the previous answers).
I hope you understand what I am saying. Let me know if you have any doubts.

Cheers
