Can a GUI have 2 sets of radio buttons ?

[petrojelly 0]

I am wondering if there is a way to have two sets of radio button within the same GUI, so that 2 radio can be selected from 2 separate groups of radio buttons.

#include <GUIconstants.au3>

Opt("GUICoordMode", 1)

GUICreate("Radio Box Grouping Demo", 400,280)

; Create the controls
$button_1 = GUICtrlCreateButton ("B&utton 1", 30, 20, 120, 40)
$group_1 = GUICtrlCreateGroup ("Group 1", 30, 90, 165, 160)
GUIStartGroup()
$radio_1 = GUICtrlCreateRadio ("Radio &0", 50, 120, 70, 20)
$radio_2 = GUICtrlCreateRadio ("Radio &1", 50, 150, 60, 20)
$radio_3 = GUICtrlCreateRadio ("Radio &2", 50, 180, 60, 20)
GUIStartGroup()
$radio_4 = GUICtrlCreateRadio ("Radio &A", 120, 120, 70, 20)
$radio_5 = GUICtrlCreateRadio ("Radio &B", 120, 150, 60, 20)
$radio_6 = GUICtrlCreateRadio ("Radio &C", 120, 180, 60, 20)
GUIStartGroup()
$input_1 = GUICtrlCreateInput ("Input 1", 200, 20, 160, 30)
$input_2 = GUICtrlCreateInput ("Input 2", 200, 70, 160, 30)

; Set the defaults (radio buttons clicked, default button, etc)
GUICtrlSetState($radio_1, $GUI_CHECKED)
GUICtrlSetState($radio_6, $GUI_CHECKED)
GUICtrlSetState($button_1, $GUI_FOCUS + $GUI_DEFBUTTON)

; Init our vars that we will use to keep track of radio events
$radioval1 = 0   ; We will assume 0 = first radio button selected, 2 = last button
$radioval2 = 2

GUISetState ()

; In this message loop we use variables to keep track of changes to the radios, another
; way would be to use GUICtrlRead() at the end to read in the state of each control.  Both
; methods are equally valid
While 1
   $msg = GUIGetMsg()
   Select
      Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
         Exit
         
      Case $msg = $button_1
         MsgBox(0, "Button", "Radio " & $radioval1 & @LF & "Radio " & Chr($radioval2 + Asc("A")) & @LF & GUICtrlRead($input_1) & @LF & GUICtrlRead($input_2))
         
      Case $msg = $radio_1 OR $msg = $radio_2 OR $msg = $radio_3
         $radioval1 = $msg - $radio_1
         
      Case $msg = $radio_4 OR $msg = $radio_5 OR $msg = $radio_6
         $radioval2 = $msg - $radio_4

   EndSelect
WEnd

i did not write this... you need to look at the bottom of each page in the help file

just use the search "tab" and search a word like "radio"

thats all i did ... just now

I always assign a handle to a control and that way I know which control has received user input, independently of whether the controls are of the same type. The question is analogous to how you handle a gui with two buttons.

Thanks but i dont understand how that script is answering my question. I can't see in that script how it's related radio button in any way. Btw i wish my auoit help can have the search function too, it wont let me search.

Here is an example

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("My GUI group") ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

GUICtrlCreateGroup ("Group 1", 190, 60, 90, 140)
$radio_1 = GUICtrlCreateRadio ("Radio 1", 210, 90, 60, 20)
$radio_2 = GUICtrlCreateRadio ("Radio 2", 210, 110, 60, 50)
GUICtrlCreateGroup ("",-99,-99,1,1) ;close group

GUICtrlCreateGroup ("Group 2", 190, 200, 90, 140)
$radio_3 = GUICtrlCreateRadio ("Radio 3", 210, 230, 60, 20)
$radio_4 = GUICtrlCreateRadio ("Radio 4", 210, 250, 60, 50)
GUICtrlCreateGroup ("",-99,-99,1,1) ;close group

GUISetState ()    ; will display an empty dialog box

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
Wend

Perhaps you should reload AutoIt if the help does not work properly
