    Hello Scott,

    Please take a look at the following example:

    using System.Windows.Forms;
    using Telerik.WinControls.UI;
     
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        private FlowLayoutPanel flowPanel;
        private bool localChange;
     
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            flowPanel = new FlowLayoutPanel();
            flowPanel.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
            this.Controls.Add(flowPanel);
     
            for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
            {
                var checkBox = new RadCheckBox();
                checkBox.ToggleStateChanged += new StateChangedEventHandler(radCheckBox_ToggleStateChanged);
                checkBox.Text = "CheckBox" + i;
                flowPanel.Controls.Add(checkBox);
            }
        }
     
        void radCheckBox_ToggleStateChanged(object sender, StateChangedEventArgs args)
        {
            if (localChange)
            {
                return;
            }
     
            ToggleState(sender as RadCheckBox);
        }
     
        private void ToggleState(RadCheckBox radCheckBox)
        {
            localChange = true;
     
            foreach (var control in flowPanel.Controls)
            {
                var checkBox = control as RadCheckBox;
                if (checkBox != null && checkBox != radCheckBox && checkBox.ToggleState != Telerik.WinControls.Enumerations.ToggleState.Off)
                {
                    checkBox.ToggleState = Telerik.WinControls.Enumerations.ToggleState.Off;
                }
            }
     
            localChange = false;
        }
    }

    Hope this helps, if you have any other questions or comments, please let me know,

    Best Regards,

    Is there anything like a OptionSet Box?

    Hello Uwe,

    I am not sure what you mean about OptionSet Box. This is why I made some research and it seems that it is used to show a list of predefined options displayed in a drop-down that a user can choose from by checking/unchecking. In this case, I can suggest several controls from Telerik UI for Winforms suite that might be suitable for you:

    • RadCheckedListBox control - RadCheckedListBox is an enhanced alternative to the standard Windows Forms checked list box control. It displayed a list box in which a checkbox is displayed to the left of each item. 
    • RadListView control - RadListView has built-in checkboxes functionality which can be shown by setting the ShowCheckBoxes property of RadListView to true. You can find more information here.
    • RadCheckedDropDownList control - RadCheckedDropDownList combines RadDropDownList and RadAutoCompleteBox in order to provide the functionality to check items in the drop-down area and tokenize them in the text area.

    Could you please take a look at the suggested controls and consider if any of them should be suitable for you?

    Should you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

    Regards,
