2 separate groups of radio buttons in the same form WINAPI (No MFC)

Question

I am looking to create 2 separate groups of radio buttons in a dialog box in my program but I cant quite get it to work correctly. As I understand it I need to be using the Group property but I am not getting the desired result.

I have 2 radio buttons that I wish the user to select 1 of, then a separate group of 6 which the user also selects 1 of.

Exactly how are you using the `WS_GROUP` style? Post code. What result are you actually getting? — jamesdlin, May 23 '12 at 09:45

I have Solved the problem myself. Simply setting 1 of the radio buttons to true and leaving the rest false gave me the desired result. I didn't do this in code. I was just using the the properties view

For instance, you have two groups of radio buttons. In order to make the first group you need write

WS_GROUP | WS_TABSTOP

The first group:

CreateWindowEx(bla_bla, bla_bla, bla_bla, WS_GROUP | WS_TABSTOP, bla, bla, bla, bla, bla,bla,bla,bla);

CreateWindowEx(); one more radio button which refers to the first group;(notice without WS_GROUP | WS_TABSTOP !!!!)

CreateWindowEx();one more radio button which refers to the first group;(notice without WS_GROUP | WS_TABSTOP !!!!)
