    First up I know I'm being lazy, but the button is in a user control, and using the request.form is easier than recreating the user control on postback and getting the value.
     
    That said how would I get the checked value of a RadButton that is configured as a toggle button to look like a checkbox? The data is in the form :

    {"text":"","value":"","checked":true,"target":"","navigateUrl":"","commandName":"","commandArgument":"","autoPostBack":false,"selectedToggleStateIndex":0,"validationGroup":null,"readOnly":false}

     
    Its the Checked value I need. .

    Hi Andy,

    Request.Form command is used to retrieve user input from forms. RadButton, however, is a script control, which means that it is not rendered just as a simple input. Therefore you can use its server-side method - SelectedToggleStateIndex, in order to retrieve the checked value of the RadButton configured as a toggle button. For example:

    ASPX:
    <telerik:RadButton ID="RadButton1" runat="server" ToggleType="CustomToggle" ButtonType="ToggleButton"
        AutoPostBack="true">
        <ToggleStates>
            <telerik:RadButtonToggleState Text="UnChecked" PrimaryIconCssClass="rbToggleCheckbox"></telerik:RadButtonToggleState>
            <telerik:RadButtonToggleState Text="Filled" PrimaryIconCssClass="rbToggleCheckboxFilled"></telerik:RadButtonToggleState>
            <telerik:RadButtonToggleState Text="Checked" PrimaryIconCssClass="rbToggleCheckboxChecked"
                Selected="true"></telerik:RadButtonToggleState>
        </ToggleStates>
    </telerik:RadButton>
    <br />
    Selected Index is:
    <asp:Label ID="Label1" Text="text" runat="server" />
    C#:
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Label1.Text = RadButton1.SelectedToggleStateIndex.ToString();
    }

    You can also find useful the server-side API of RadButton.

    Thanks but as this exists in a user control it is destroyed on postback, As I said in my OP I'm looking to get the value without recreating the control on the server.

    The string values exists in the requestForm object already, was looking at a way to use it.

    Hello Andy,

    You can get the Client State of the RadButton from the Request.Form collection through the name of the RadButton's input name property. For example:
    ASPX:
    <telerik:RadButton ID="RadButton1" runat="server" Text="postback" />
    <myusercontrol:myUC ID="uc1" runat="server" />
    <br />
    ToggleStateIndex is:
    <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" />
    C#:
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (IsPostBack)
        {
            string toggleState = Request.Form["uc1_RadButton1_ClientState"];
            int startIndex = toggleState.IndexOf("selectedToggleStateIndex") + 26;
            int length = toggleState.IndexOf(",", startIndex) - startIndex;
            toggleState = toggleState.Substring(startIndex, length);
            Label1.Text = toggleState;
        }
    }

    ASCX:
    <telerik:RadButton ID="RadButton1" runat="server" ToggleType="CustomToggle" ButtonType="ToggleButton"
        AutoPostBack="true">
        <ToggleStates>
            <telerik:RadButtonToggleState Text="UnChecked" PrimaryIconCssClass="rbToggleCheckbox"></telerik:RadButtonToggleState>
            <telerik:RadButtonToggleState Text="Filled" PrimaryIconCssClass="rbToggleCheckboxFilled"></telerik:RadButtonToggleState>
            <telerik:RadButtonToggleState Text="Checked" PrimaryIconCssClass="rbToggleCheckboxChecked"
                Selected="true"></telerik:RadButtonToggleState>
        </ToggleStates>
    </telerik:RadButton>

    where the highlighted text is the name of the RadButton's input.  Note, however, that the ClientState of the RadButton,  will only be available if the button itself is clicked. Therefore I can suggest you to use a hidden field where you can store the RadButton's ToggleState, so that it can be obtained later.
