Description

Sets the check value of the radio button user control that is specified by userControlID.

Radio buttons are essentially check boxes, but they operate in a group with other radio buttons, allowing for mutually exclusive choices. When a user interacts with radio buttons in a group, the radio buttons automatically uncheck themselves when another button in the group is checked. However, when setting the check with this command, you must explicitly uncheck any other radio buttons in the group, otherwise, multiple buttons may be checked.
