[How Do I:] Use the ASP.NET AJAX MutuallyExclusive Checkbox Extender?

The MutuallyExclusive control from the ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit enables the developer to configure a number of check boxes as mutually exclusive, which ensures the user may only check a single option. While a radio-button list provides similar behavior, the need for a check box to be clicked by the user makes the MutuallyExclusive control ideal for receiving confirmation from the user, such as accepting or not accepting terms of use.

Thanks for video. I also rather use checkboxes rather then radio buttons. I hate radio buttons

Joe,

Good video as far as it goes. Is there another video that would show me how to enable or disable a button based on which checkbox was selected like the opening picture for the video suggests?

Hi Joe how can i group checkboxes against other checkboxes.

For example u have 3 checkboxes.

when u select chkbx3 it unchecks 1 & 2, but i want it that if u select 1 or 2 or 1 and 2 that it unchecks 3? Any idea?

Good tutorial, but you didn't go to the next step an indicate how to use the resulting key value in your code behind.

Hello,

good video. I have tried it, everything functions good :) But I can`t catch event checked changed on each checkbox.. I have already defined event hadler for each checkbox, but it seems that event never happens :-/ Does somebody have any idea how to catch events for each checkbox? Thank you..
