How to set the Size of the RadioButton in C#?
In Windows Forms, RadioButton control is used to select a single option among the group of the options. For example, select your gender from the given list, so you will choose only one option among three options like Male or Female or Transgender.
In Windows Forms, you are allowed to adjust the size of the RadioButton using the Size Property of the RadioButton. This property represents both the height and width of the RadioButton in pixels. You can set this property in two different ways:
1. Design-Time: It is the easiest way to adjust the size of the RadioButton as shown in the following steps:
- Step 1: Create a windows form as shown in the below image:
Visual Studio -> File -> New -> Project -> WindowsFormApp
- Step 2: Drag the RadioButton control from the ToolBox and drop it on the windows form. You are allowed to place a RadioButton control anywhere on the windows form according to your need.
- Step 3: After drag and drop you will go to the properties of the RadioButton control to adjust the size of RadioButton.
Output:
2. Run-Time: It is a little bit trickier than the above method. In this method, you can adjust the size of the RadioButton control programmatically with the help of given syntax:
public System.Drawing.Size Size { get; set; }
Here, Size indicates the height and width in pixels. The following steps show how to adjust the size of the RadioButton dynamically:
- Step 1: Create a radio button using the RadioButton() constructor is provided by the RadioButton class.
// Creating radio button RadioButton r1 = new RadioButton();
- Step 2: After creating RadioButton, set the Size property of the RadioButton provided by the RadioButton class.
// Setting the size of the radio button r1.Size = new Size(100, 40);
- Step 3: And last add this RadioButton control to the form using Add() method.
// Add this radio button to the form this.Controls.Add(r1);

class
Form1 : Form {
public
Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private
void
Form1_Load(
object
sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Creating and setting label
Label l =
new
Label();
l.AutoSize =
true
;
l.Location =
new
Point(176, 40);
l.Text =
"Select Post"
;
// Adding this label to the form
this
.Controls.Add(l);
// Creating and setting the
// properties of the RadioButton
RadioButton r1 =
new
RadioButton();
r1.Size =
new
Size(100, 40);
r1.Text =
"Intern"
;
r1.Location =
new
Point(286, 40);
r1.TextAlign = ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft;
// Adding this label to the form
this
.Controls.Add(r1);
// Creating and setting the
// properties of the RadioButton
RadioButton r2 =
new
RadioButton();
r2.Text =
"Team Leader"
;
r2.Location =
new
Point(450, 40);
r2.TextAlign = ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft;
r2.Size =
new
Size(100, 40);
// Adding this label to the form
this
.Controls.Add(r2);
}
}
}
