Checkbox and Radio Button Programming on GUI

Stations are considered to be one of the following? ATR, AVC, BC, LTPP, Manual and Toll Road?

Now that I see what you are trying to do, using Radio Buttons for the State, Austin, San Antonio, etc. makes more sense because you can only have one of those selected at a time, right?

And I would use checkboxes for: ATR, AVC, BC, LTPP, Manual and Toll Road options, because you said you can have multiple of those checked at the same time.

Now you don't have to repeat all of the: ATR, AVC, BC, LTPP, Manual and Toll Road checkboxes on different tabs.

Thanks Ken. I work for the state. We have an out of date ie we use. Answer #23. Thanks again!!

It's showing up on my browser (Firefox 24.3.0). Say which post you deem is the answer and I can click it marked for you.

Well, I would mark this thread as answered. But the checkmark is not showing for me to check it as answered??

I think you are messing with us.

Thread answered!!

Badges are fine.

Not only are the MVPs badged so you can find them, but they�??re also eligible for prizes like software, books, training courses, and conference seats as a collective �??thank you�?? from us for all of their great effort.

This stuff.. I can't accept...we have policies about this kind of thing.

Don't disregard the points! These add up over time and if others find you helpful enough, you'll get rewarded. Besides, it helps people who are searching for answers see what contributed to the final answer (or what helped them)

Leo, are you a fed? I had asked if I could accept the reward to the ethics officer here who said it was OK

Thanks Guys for all the help. This thread is complete.

And unanswered?

OK, how do you get the check to show up?? Duh!!

Thanks Guys for all the help. This thread is complete.

Thank You Sol. I did not know we could start new threads on the same subject.

Um, don't do that.

Unless your question goes in a totally different direction from your original one, don't post a new thread to keep asking questions about the same topic. People will really not like that.

Once again, you beat me to the response...

I don't care about the points anymore. Where I work, I can't accept whatever goes with the results of more points anyway.

Thank You Sol. I did not know we could start new threads on the same subject. I thought we were to complete the one we started. I will do that from now on in the future. Thanks for also letting me know how to give credit for the help. I want to make sure I thank of all of you who help me. Thanks again!!

Thanks Guys!! I will use the code from that program and adjust to fit with the checkboxes. Thank You for the help. Sorry, Leo on the explanations. Next time, I will just send an attachment so people can understand what I'm asking. Thanks again. I'll close the ticket and start a new one if I have any troubles. Thanks again leo for the idea of the tabs. That will work great!!!

By start new, I meant, don't reuse the code unless you know how to change it. Otherwise, you will start out with a problem before you even start working on the solution.

Tabs was a suggestion before I knew what you were trying to do. It's up to you whether you want to continue to use tabs. It sounds like if you use tabs, you are going to have to repeat all the code for the station selections, so I would advise against this approach.

Do you really want to repeat all those checkboxes on the different tabs? You'll have to keep track of each of them individually. The more tabs you have, the bigger headache you'll have. What happens when a user picks checkboxes on more than one tab?

It looks like you should rethink the user interface. Something simple, like a combobox of the different geographic areas and one set of checkboxes for the options. You can assemble the shapefiles you'll need for the map from those selections.

I'm sorry, Sol. What do you mean by new profile??

Looking again, do I use the myArray code you guys helped me with??

You should probably start new.

And don't forget this one.

Nope, different project. You all helped me to get that one to work. I turned that one in about 6 months ago. I did print out the project code to see if I could use any information from it. I didn't see any but I will look again. Seeing as now I've changed to tabs and checkboxes on each tab. That project I used comboboxes on one tab. Looking again, do I use the myArray code you guys helped me with??

Is this the same project?

Yes, same project. I will look for the answer you guys gave me. Although, it should be different now that I'm going to use tabs correct? So, the program on each tab should be something like :
 Private Sub State_Change()
        If checkboxmanual = true then 
            openFileDialog.InitialDirectory = "K:\"

Well, in a way yes.

I thought you said that a user could select multiple stations. Do you really want to make the user suffer through the openFileDialog for as many times as they have something checked on that tab?

And.. why not just add the layer programmatically, instead of presenting the open file dialog? Did I miss something?

Looked back through my posts. Belowzero helped me in december with the open shapefile code. That was the only help I got on the project. I opened this post for help on the checkbox code.

Tabs, radio buttons, it's your choice. Whatever you feel like you can maintain (remember) 6 months after you stop working on this project.

Didn't Ken or I give you this answer a long time ago? I thought we did.

It was something about building a string value based on what you have selected compared with the naming structure of your data directory?

You would concatenate the value of the Radio button (State, Austin, San Antonio, etc) with the values selected from your stations into one string that matches the location of those layers.

I recall this was going to work for you? Is this the same project?

So, I've started the new program. The new GUI is attached!

That's why I think I'm going to go with your idea and use the tabs it will be simplier. I think I am making it harder than it is. No, there would be a tab for state, tab for Austin, tab for San Antonio, etc.. So, the tab example I sent you there would be a tab for each district with those same stations on each tab for the user to select from. See Attached!
