    Keeping Dialog Button Selected

    I am writing a program in Visual Studios 2012 Express edition I created a Dialog Box using ResEdit that looks like this

    Name:  dialog.png
Views: 830
Size:  28.1 KB




    I want to make it so when I select the A Button button it stays selected when im changing the value in the repeat and delay editboxes I only want it to deselect it when I click On another button like the B Button button.

    Is there a way to make this Dialog Boxes buttons group buttons if not how do I accomplish what im trying to do?

    Did you consider using radio buttons instead the push ones?

    Yeah at first but I didn't really like the look but so far that seems like the best option right now? I could make a dialog box with CreateWindowEX than I could probably set the buttons I create a CheckGroup but I would rather use a resource Editor.

    You should first think about usability, not the look!

    Very true I agree with you 100% on that. Looking into radio buttons I found in resedit there is a act like a push button option that makes it look like a push button but still work as a radio button. Thanks for your help

    There is a lot of controls available in a toolbox of resource editor. The radio button is one of them.
