Example

The following example instantiates a RadioButton, gives it the appearance of a toggle button, and sets its AutoCheck property to false.

Private Sub MySub()
   ' Initialize a new RadioButton. 
   Form1.RadioButton1 = New System.WinForms.RadioButton
   
   ' Make the radio button control appear as a toggle button.
   RadioButton1.Appearance = Appearance.Button

   ' Turn off the update of the display on the click of the control.
   RadioButton1.AutoCheck = False

   ' Add the radio button to the form.
   Form1.Controls.Add(RadioButton1)
End Sub
