function

Hi,
I have this function for a ToolStripMenu When a button is selected, the function will search to see if

there is some other button selected, and will deselect it:

Code:

---

private void button1ToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (button1ToolStripMenuItem.Checked)
            {
            button1ToolStripMenuItem1.Checked = false;
            button1ToolStripMenuItem2.Checked = false;
            button1ToolStripMenuItem3.Checked = false;
            button1ToolStripMenuItem4.Checked = false;
            button1ToolStripMenuItem5.Checked = false;
            ..........................
            button1ToolStripMenuItem30.Checked = false;
           
               
            }
        }
private void button1ToolStripMenuItem1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (button1ToolStripMenuItem.Checked)
            {
            button1ToolStripMenuItem.Checked = false;
            button1ToolStripMenuItem2.Checked = false;
            button1ToolStripMenuItem3.Checked = false;
            button1ToolStripMenuItem4.Checked = false;
            button1ToolStripMenuItem5.Checked = false;
            ..........................
            button1ToolStripMenuItem30.Checked = false;
           
               
            }
        }


......................


private void button1ToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (button30ToolStripMenuItem.Checked)
            {
            button1ToolStripMenuItem1.Checked = false;
            button1ToolStripMenuItem2.Checked = false;
            button1ToolStripMenuItem3.Checked = false;
            button1ToolStripMenuItem4.Checked = false;
            button1ToolStripMenuItem5.Checked = false;
            ..........................
            button1ToolStripMenuItem29.Checked = false;
           
               
            }
        }

private void button2ToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (button2ToolStripMenuItem.Checked)
            {
            button2ToolStripMenuItem1.Checked = false;
            button2ToolStripMenuItem2.Checked = false;
            button2ToolStripMenuItem3.Checked = false;
            button2ToolStripMenuItem4.Checked = false;
            button2ToolStripMenuItem5.Checked = false;
            ..........................
            button2ToolStripMenuItem30.Checked = false;
           
               
            }
        }

........................
private void button2ToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (button2ToolStripMenuItem30.Checked)
            {
            button2ToolStripMenuItem.Checked = false;
            button2ToolStripMenuItem1.Checked = false;
            button2ToolStripMenuItem2.Checked = false;
            button2ToolStripMenuItem3.Checked = false;
            button2ToolStripMenuItem4.Checked = false;
            ..........................
            button2ToolStripMenuItem29.Checked = false;
           
               
            }
        }

            {
            foreach (ContainerButton2.Checked = false);
                           
            }
private void button3ToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (button3ToolStripMenuItem.Checked)
            {
            foreach (ContainerButton3.Checked = false);
                           
            }

........

You can give them all the same event, deselect all the items that are not the 'sender'

Code:

---

private void button1ToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e){
  ToolStripMenuItem sender_item = sender as ToolStripMenuItem;
  foreach (ToolStripMenuItem item in toolStrip1.Items) {
      item.Checked = (item.Name == sender_item.Name);
  }
}

thank you dannystommen

Code:

---

ContainerButton1
{
            button1ToolStripMenuItem1;
            button1ToolStripMenuItem2;
                          ..........................
            button1ToolStripMenuItem30;
}

---

Code:

---

ContainerButton2
{
            button2ToolStripMenuItem1;
            button2ToolStripMenuItem2;
                          ..........................
            button2ToolStripMenuItem30;
}
