Bunifu Radio Button
Create stylishly themed and customizable Radio buttons with in-built look and feel features and more.
Bunifu Radio Button is a feature-rich .NET control whose primary purpose is the selection of one option from a list of pre-defined choices. It features different states and appearance customizations.
Bunifu Radio Button is simply added to a form at the designer level by locating/searching
BunifuRadioButton in your toolbox and dragging it to your form as shown below:
Next, you need to bind a label which will be your click target. To set it up:
Step two: Access Bunifu Radio's smart tag and set the
BindingControl property to the value with the name of the Bunifu Label control:
Ensure that the
AllowBindingControlLocation is checked.To add Bunifu Radio Button at run time, use the Load event of your Form to write the following code:
C#
VB.NET
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//instatiate Bunifu Radio Button using Bunifu.UI.WinForms;
BunifuRadioButton bunifuRadio = new BunifuRadioButton();
//set the location for the radio button
bunifuRadio.Location = new Point(290, 150);
//instatiate a Bunifu Label to bind to the radio button
BunifuLabel bunifuLabel = new BunifuLabel();
//set the text for the label
bunifuLabel.Text = "Option one";
//bind the label to Bunifu Radio
bunifuRadio.BindingControl = bunifuLabel;
bunifuRadio.AllowBindingControlLocation = true;
//add the two controls to the form
this.Controls.AddRange(new Control[] { bunifuRadio, bunifuLabel }) ;
}
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
'instatiate Bunifu Radio Button using Bunifu.UI.WinForms;
Dim bunifuRadio As New BunifuRadioButton()
'set the location for the radio button
bunifuRadio.Location = New Point(290, 150)
'instatiate a Bunifu Label to bind to the radio button
Dim bunifuLabel As New BunifuLabel()
'set the text for the label
bunifuLabel.Text = "Option one"
'bind the label to Bunifu Radio
bunifuRadio.BindingControl = bunifuLabel
bunifuRadio.AllowBindingControlLocation = True
'add the two controls to the form
Me.Controls.AddRange(New Control() { bunifuRadio, bunifuLabel })
End Sub
Let's take a deep dive and get insights into the available properties on Bunifu Radio Button.
This property allows you to get or set the height/ border height of the control. Only integer values are accepted in this property.
This property allows you to get or set the border color of the radio button. It accepts RGB and HEX color values as inputs.
This property enables you to get or set the radio button's hover border color; the color is activated once the control is hovered over.
This property allows you to get or set the radio button's unchecked state border color.
This property allows you to get or set a color value fill for the inner circle; the color gets activated when the control is in the checked state.
This property allows you to get or set a hover color value for the inner circle; the color gets activated once the control is hovered over.
This property allows you to get or set the initial state of a Bunifu Radio Button. The property accepts a boolean value that, when true, toggles the radio button's state to a selected state.
Bunifu Radio buttons should always be placed under a group box or a panel defining a category for selection.
The
checkedChanged event fires whenever the radio button state changes. Here's is a code implementing the event:C#
VB.NET
private void dailyBunifuRadioButton_CheckedChanged(object sender, Bunifu.UI.WinForms.BunifuRadioButton.CheckedChangedEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Checked)
{
MessageBox.Show("Daily updates set");
}
}
private void weeklyBunifuRadioButton_CheckedChanged(object sender, Bunifu.UI.WinForms.BunifuRadioButton.CheckedChangedEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Checked)
{
MessageBox.Show("Weekly updates set");
}
}
private void montlyBunifuRadioButton_CheckedChanged(object sender, Bunifu.UI.WinForms.BunifuRadioButton.CheckedChangedEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Checked)
{
MessageBox.Show("Monthly updates set");
}
}
Private Sub dailyBunifuRadioButton_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Bunifu.UI.WinForms.BunifuRadioButton.CheckedChangedEventArgs)
If e.Checked Then
MessageBox.Show("Daily updates set")
End If
End Sub
Private Sub weeklyBunifuRadioButton_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Bunifu.UI.WinForms.BunifuRadioButton.CheckedChangedEventArgs)
If e.Checked Then
MessageBox.Show("Weekly updates set")
End If
End Sub
Private Sub montlyBunifuRadioButton_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Bunifu.UI.WinForms.BunifuRadioButton.CheckedChangedEventArgs)
If e.Checked Then
MessageBox.Show("Monthly updates set")
End If
End Sub
This property allows you to get or set a binding control (i.e., the control's click target e.g the Label, PictureBox, etc..).Typically, the label serves as the binding control or the click target. Only a few cases necessitate the use of additional .NET controls. The bound control receives the Radio Button control's click events, which set the control's state(checked or unchecked state).
In no case should the parent control of a Bunifu Radio Button be bound.
This property allows you to get or set a position enumeration for the bound control. The position enumeration define the following values: (i.e., the Left and Right positions).
This property ensures adequate spacing between buttons and labels, making it crystal clear which choice corresponds to which label. This helps you to avoid situations where it is extremely difficult to see the correct radio button to click.
Bunifu Radio button is a rich essential element of forms and when utilizing radio buttons, it is critical to ensure that this .NET UI element is predictable for users, as this improves users' ability to control the system.
