Need advice on an OK button. 2

[Russ1005]

Most of the visual development experience I have is Access. I have a newbie type vfp question. I've inherited a project that has a radio button group of report names (the user wants this format). I need to create an OK button to check which radio button (report) was selected and print the associated report. I have no clue at this point how to accomplish this.

Any advice on a direction to go in would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
-Russ

Create a form,
Place your radiobutton group on the form (I assume you mean this has already been created as a class).. call it "rdoReport"
create a form property ( Form menu -> Add property ) called "nReportNum"
Put "THISFORM.nReportNum" in rdoReport.ControlSource

In your OK button's .Click event, put code resembling this:

DO CASE
  CASE THISFORM.nReportNum=1
    * do the first report
  CASE THISFORM.nReportNum=2
    * do the second report
  * etc
ENDCASE
THISFORM.Release

Hi Russ,

In the Form Designer drop a command button onto your form. Change its caption to OK. Add Click event code to determine which button was selected and run the appropriate report. Something like:

DO CASE
CASE THISFORM.MyOptionGroup.VALUE = 1
REPORT FORM Report1......
CASE THISFORM.MyOptionGroup.VALUE = 2
REPORT FORM Report2......
.
.
ENDCASE
