What is Radio Button in Control in VB.net?
The Radio Button Control in VB.net is used to choose one choice from the available options.
In Windows forms, we may utilize the radio button to pick just one thing from a related set of items.
The Radio Buttons in VB.net are mutually exclusive, signifying that only one item is selected and active in the form.
Let’s create Radio Buttons in VB.net by dragging Radio Button controls from the Toolbox and dropping them on the form.
The state of a radio button is set using the Checked Property of the radio button. On a radio button control, text, an image, or both can be shown.
Using the Appearance Property, you can also alter how the radio button control looks.

Let’s create a program to demonstrate How Radio Button Controls in VB.net Forms are used.
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click_4(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim prog As String
If RadioButton1.Checked = True Then
prog = "VB.NET"
MsgBox(" Your Programming Language is : " & prog)
ElseIf RadioButton2.Checked = True Then
prog = "Python"
MsgBox(" Your Programming Language is : " & prog)
ElseIf RadioButton3.Checked = True Then
prog = "Java"
MsgBox(" Your Programming Language is : " & prog)
Else
prog = "PHP"
MsgBox(" Your Programming Language is : " & prog)
End If
End Sub
End ClassProgram Output:
Click the Submit Button will show you a message like the screenshot below.
Difference Between RadioButton Control and CheckBox Control in VB.net
Elements for making selections include checkboxes and radio buttons.
While radio buttons allow the user to select exactly one thing from a list of numerous predetermined alternatives, checkboxes allow the user to select items from a fixed number of alternatives.
VB.net RadioButton Control
- Radio buttons are used to choose one option at a time from a limited number of options.
- Arrange radio buttons in groups (you define graphical groups in the Screen Painter). Put at least two radio buttons in one group.
- One radio button in a group must always be selected.
- If the user should have the chance to choose no item from the offered options, create a separate radio button with a “No selection” label or similar text that turns off the other content-related options.
VB.net CheckBox Control
- Checkboxes are used to choose as many options as desired at a time from a limited number of options.
- You can select none, one, or as many options as desired in a group of checkboxes.
- There may also be only one checkbox.
- Choose a name that explicitly distinguishes two different states or contrasts.
Summary
In this article we have discussed how to create a program for Radio Button Control in VB.net using Microsoft Visual Studio, we have learned how to use and manage the different Properties, Methods, and Events of the Radio Button in VB.net.
