lhilliard got it! What an easy implementation to check a Radio Button. His referance to the function "CheckDlgButton(hDlg,ID_BUTTON_NAME,BST_CHECKED);" was the easiest to implement(at least for me). I stumbled thru all the SetCheck stuff and MFC Help with no success. I used the Dialog Editor the create a Radio button, then added a function called Hex which MFC turns into "void CPIODlg::OnHex()". In my "BOOL CPIODlg::OnInitDialog()" function I placed the line of code,
"CheckDlgButton(IDC_Hex, BST_CHECKED)". Now as soon as I run the app that radio button is checked. THANKS!!!
