SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario. You create a Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2003 Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) application. The MFC application contains a dialog box. The dialog box contains grouped option buttons and at least one ActiveX control. You compile the application, and then you run the application. In the dialog box, you select an option button by using an arrow key. In this scenario, a value that is not valid (-1) is returned for the option button that you select. This problem does not occur if you click to select an option button by using the mouse.

Note An option button is also known as a radio button.
