Conditional selection of Radio option

I have a C6.1 Legacy app.

Q. I want to select (prime) a certain Radio Option from a group if a certain Check Box is ticked. It can remain selected if the Check Box is un-ticked.

I thought this would be an easy task but it is really testing me.

Thanks.

Hi,

the optionbox use a certain variable, for example -> loc:option BYTE , every radio has an value.
In accepted-embed of checkbox (use variable loc:check BYTE), you can set this variable:

IF loc:check then !checkbox is ticked
loc:option = 1 !radio-option value 1
ELSE !checkbox is unticked
loc:option = 2 !radio-option value 2
END
DISPLAY()

Thank you very much cagiv. I have it working now however if its any help to anyone else further to my question I found that if the check box was unticked, another Radio option selected, then the check box ticked again SELECT() was useful. ie.

IF loc:check then !checkbox is ticked
loc:option = 1 !radio-option value 1
SELECT(?Radio1)
ELSE !checkbox is unticked
loc:option = 2 !radio-option value 2
SELECT(?Radio2)
END
