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,

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,

Nadya
