  • Option buttons in separate groups kept linking each other

    From daniel.tcp@gmail.com@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jun 2 19:30:39 2020
    As per subject header, the options button kept linking each other even though I have separated them in groups.

    Can anyone help? Any way for me to attach the file for someone to take a look?

    You can upload your file to an online storage, then post a download link to it here.

    Otherwise, please explain HOW the option buttons are grouped. (ie: by GroupName or by Container)

    I have figured out what's wrong.

    I used Developer -> Insert -> Form Controls -> Group Box to create a box.
    Then add Options Button from the same Form Controls into the box, resize the buttons to fix into the box and remove all text.
    Created 2 options between 2 rows.

    The initial rows was 14.5 in height and that is probably the reason why it was not working properly.
    I enlarged all rows that requires the button including the group box.
    now it is working properly.

    a little too bad why the group boxes doesn't work well when in smaller sizes.

    Ah! Using controls on a worksheet can be problematic at best and is why I don't use them when designing forms on worksheets. I use cells for users to mark with an "x", and the SelectionChange event to auto-disable the other choices in a group. By 'disable' I mean all choices are greyed out until selected whereby the font color goes to 'Automatic'; - choosing another option sets all to 'greyed out' and the selected to 'Automatic'.

    This way, the cells are part of the worksheet as opposed to objects on the worksheet; - they stay put and behave as expected when hiding rows via the expand/collapse controls.
