I basically have two sets of radio buttons. The first set is a bit complicated as I need the ability to have more than one button marked (maybe checkboxes would be a better way of doing them). The second set of buttons are in a group so that I can only have one of them marked at a time.
My problem lies in the fact that it doesn't matter which of the buttons I click, only the one I click is marked...including the buttons from the first set (which are not marked as a group).
An explanation (if possible) would be great.

For the first set of buttons (as I currently have them), what I'm needing is the ability to control them so that I can have the following combinations possible:
160
160 & 190
170
170 & 190
170 & 180
170, 180 & 190
180
180 & 190

As I said, I'm wondering if checkboxes might be a better way of handling those combinations, rather than radio buttons.

Currently using mIRC 6.17

Hi RusselB. Yes, checkboxes would be your best option for what you're looking to do. And, if it's necessary to make one of the checkboxes not available when another is checked, that is easy to do as well with either an automatic uncheck/check command when you click the other one, or by enabling/disabling it when you click the other one.

As for the groups, I think that if you use groups, everything has to be grouped (so you'd need 2 groups).

Check boxes would probably be ideal, but if you want to use radio buttons it can be done fairly easy as well. I posted this on another site where RusselB was looking for help so I'll copy it over to here as well.

Code:

  radio "Daily", 160, 7 134 50 18, group
  radio "MP/LL", 170, 7 152 50 18, group
  radio "Sat. Only", 180, 57 134 65 18, group 
  radio "Vacation", 190, 57 152 65 18, group
  box "Billing", 200, 123 120 63 100 
  radio "PIO", 210, 125 134 40 18, group
  radio "CMP", 220, 125 152 40 18
  radio "Mthly", 230, 125 170 45 18
  radio "Bi-Wkly", 240, 125 188 55 18

and to uncheck the radio buttons I used this

Code:

on *:dialog:observer:sclick:*: {
  if ($did == 160) {
    if (%daily == 0 || %daily == $null) { set %daily 1 | did -c $dname 160 }
    else { set %daily 0 | did -u $dname 160 }
  }
  if ($did == 170) {
    if (%mp == 0 || %mp == $null) { set %mp 1 | did -c $dname 170 }
    else { set %mp 0 | did -u $dname 170 }
  }
  if ($did == 180) {
    if (%sat == 0 || %sat == $null) { set %sat 1 | did -c $dname 180 }
    else { set %sat 0 | did -u $dname 180 }
  }
  if ($did == 190) {
    if (%vaca == 0 || %vaca == $null) { set %vaca 1 | did -c $dname 190 }
    else { set %vaca 0 | did -u $dname 190 }
  }
}

Not that it makes a lot of difference, but you could have simply used !%var instead of (%var == 0) || (%var == $null)

I always seem to forget about !%var, thanks.
