Hi All, I was trying to build a radio button list, with 5 options. How can I implement the multiple selection from the list? Thank you!

Mathcad radio buttons do not allow multiple selection. Neither does the listbox. There is a listbox here: Extra Components and Controls that does allow multi selection (a little more than half way down the worksheet). Note that some of the controls do not work in Windows 8 or later. At some point I'll try to find time to fix them (or delete them).

Hi Richard, would you tell me which one should I use in the worksheet you provided? I am using Mathcad 15 but most of the functions cannot run in Windows 8. Would you tell me the specific one I am looking for, so I can try it separately? Thank you!

Hi.

Richard's components and controls are excellent, and much better than mathcad ones.

But for multiple choice selection native from mathcad, you have the "List Box" under controls menu.

Best regards.

What is being asked for is a control that allows more than one selection at the same time, for example "One" and "Two". The Mathcad listbox cannot do that.

Oh, yes. Don't see that. Thanks.

Best regards.

You may simulate that multiple choice using a couple of check boxes

but its a bit cumbersome:

So Richards component sure is a more elegant solution, but as its not a web control, you will get that warning when your sheet is opened.
