Is this possible?

Hi
a2k2

I have a form with numerous option buttons.
I want to save the last active optionbutton in the registry so that when I
run the routine again I can set it as current.

At the moment, I'm storing a text string representing the optionbutton &
using Select Case to test for the value.

Is there a way to store the actual title of the optonbutton in the registry
& read it into a variable so that the desired button is directly set as
active

Something Like this (I realise it won't work):

Set OptButVar as String
OptButVar = GetSetting("fxsteel", "baa_bh", 1)
OptButVar.Value = True

TIA

You use the controls collection on the form to loop though all the
option buttons until you find one with the correct name.

Alternately you could use a control array for all your option buttons
and simply save the index fo the option button that is selected.

It's also possible to do Controls("name").Value = Getsetting(...)

I think you could use the CallByName function to accomplish your goal

 

Hi Dave,
You can use "SaveSetting" to save your option button value to a registry-key and "GetSetting" the next time to get your value from the register. You can use your optionbutton name als the registry-keyname.
Also look in the Help-file.

good luck
