Radio Button Value
By Alex Hedley   11 years ago

Intermediate

I spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out how to get the Label text from a Radio Button and use it in my Code.

I wanted to change the type of Chart that was being displayed and wanted the user to have a set of options.

Add a Frame onto your Form. (GroupBox1)

Dim rButton As RadioButton

rButton = GroupBox1.Controls.OfType(Of RadioButton)()

    .Where(Function(r) r.Checked = True).FirstOrDefault()

ChosenChart = rButton.Text

Chart1.Series(Series1.Name).ChartType =

    [Enum].Parse(GetType(SeriesChartType), ChosenChart)


 

I tried the following but it didn't work.

'Chart1.Series(Series1.Name).ChartType = CType(ChosenChart, SeriesChartType)


 

Working With Charts? Add the following class.

Imports System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting


Research

I found the following article which helped.

Chart1.Series(Series1.Name).ChartType = 
    DirectCast([Enum].Parse(GetType(SeriesChartType), ChosenChart, True), SeriesChartType)
