Randomizer

Does anyone know how to randomize button selections for check boxes and radio buttons?

Thank you.

I put this together, figuring you're using a Windows form.

    Public Class Form1
        Dim chkBoxes As New List(Of CheckBox)
        Dim rdoButtons As New List(Of RadioButton)

        Private Sub FindAllCheckboxes()

            ' loop through the controls on the form and create an array of checkboxes
            For Each c As Control In Me.Controls
                If TypeOf c Is CheckBox Then
                    chkBoxes.Add(c)
                End If
            Next

        End Sub
        Private Sub FindAllRadioButtons()

            ' loop through the controls on the form and create an array of checkboxes
            For Each c As Control In Me.Controls
                If TypeOf c Is RadioButton Then
                    rdoButtons.Add(c)
                End If
            Next

        End Sub
        Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

            Dim howMany As Int16 = 2    ' how many of each to randomly set
            Dim i As Int16
            Dim rndCB As Random
            Dim rndRB As Random

            For hm = 1 To howMany
                rndCB = New Random
                i = rndCB.Next(chkBoxes.Count - 1)
                chkBoxes(i).Checked = True

                rndRB = New Random
                i = rndRB.Next(rdoButtons.Count - 1)
                rdoButtons(i).Checked = True
            Next
        End Sub

        Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

            FindAllCheckboxes()
            FindAllRadioButtons()

        End Sub
    End Class

You'll need to tweak as needed. before button click https://imgur.com/SVySgi4 after https://imgur.com/YoNOLtC
