Hi,
The solution will not work if you have two sets of radio buttons in that case the groupnames should be different. If you generating the controls dynamically give group name unique groupnames to the set then it will work.

Thanks,

Hey Karim, thanks for this, unfortunately it hasn’t solved a problem that I am having with Radiobuttons – if you change your sample to use two radiobutton lists instead of a radio button list and a toggle button list, it no longer works – you cannot select a radio button from each group. Any ideas about how to solve that problem?
Thanks,
Bob

Thanks for your post, that behavior for toggle buttons is just what i was looking for.

And a comment: the unobvious thing with toggle buttons is that you can untoggle it, and the whole group won’t have any toggled buttons, and in case that’s not the desired behavior the workaround would be an unchecked event handler:

private static void OnUnchecked(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
ToggleButton btn = (ToggleButton)sender;
btn.Checked -= OnChecked;
btn.IsChecked = true;
btn.Checked += OnChecked;
}

and in UpdateRadioButtonGroup:
in the beginning:
toggleButton.Unchecked += OnUnchecked;
near the unchecking of current checked button:
target.Unchecked -= OnUnchecked;
target.IsChecked = false;
