Set button checked in code

[John Davis]

How do you set a two-state button as "checked" in program code?  For example, in the following Telerik example how do you set as checked the button having ImageUrl="~/Images/J.gif" ?

<telerik:RadToolBar ID="RadToolBar1" runat="server" Skin="Hay" >
 <Items>
   <telerik:RadToolBarButton
     runat="server"
     ImageUrl="~/Images/bold.gif"
     AllowSelfUnCheck="True"
     CheckOnClick="True" />
   <telerik:RadToolBarButton
     runat="server"
     ImageUrl="~/Images/Italic.gif"
     AllowSelfUnCheck="True"
     CheckOnClick="True" />
   <telerik:RadToolBarButton
     runat="server"
     ImageUrl="~/Images/underline.gif"
     AllowSelfUnCheck="True"
     CheckOnClick="True" />
   <telerik:RadToolBarButton
     runat="server"
     Enabled="False"
     Text="|" />
   <telerik:RadToolBarButton
     runat="server"
     Checked="True"
     CheckOnClick="True"
     Group="Justify"
     ImageUrl="~/Images/LJ.gif" />
   <telerik:RadToolBarButton
     runat="server"
     CheckOnClick="True"
     Group="Justify"
     ImageUrl="~/Images/J.gif" />
   <telerik:RadToolBarButton
     runat="server"
     CheckOnClick="True"
     ImageUrl="~/Images/RJ.gif" />
 </Items>
</telerik:RadToolBar>

Hello John Davis,

You need to first find the button you want for example by using FindItemByValue method. Then you need to cast it to RadToolBarButton class and set its Checked property to true.

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        RadToolBarButton btn = (RadToolBarButton)RadToolBar1.FindItemByValue("J");
        btn.Checked = true;
    }

I have set Value="J" for that particular item.

I hope this helps.
