# RadioButton Control in WPF

Whenever you want to checked only one value in available items then we can use [RadioButton](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/233/get-checked-radiobutton-using-javascript) control. RadioButton control has all the [property](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/198559/an-ownership-of-property-in-hua-hin) like [checkbox control](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/291/how-should-use-checkbox-control-in-vb-dot-net) except that in checkbox we can check [multiple](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/12797/iowa-is-expected-to-see-heavy-growth-in-multiple-sectors) items while in radiobutton we can check only one item. In this demonstration I will tell you how to use radiobutton control in WPF.\
