To make check boxes act like radio buttons (mutually exclusive)

If you have a list control in your dialog with the
LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES style, you can make the check boxes to act like
radiobuttons by adding two lines of code.. First map the
LVN_ITEMCHANGED event of the list control from the class wizard
and add the code shown

void CListDlg::OnItemchangedMylist(NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult)
{
 NM_LISTVIEW* pNMListView = (NM_LISTVIEW*)pNMHDR;
 /* If the event is not fired because of any change in individual items then the oldstate and
 newstate members of pNMListView are not used.  So check for that.*/
 if (!pNMListView->uOldState && !pNMListView->uNewState)
  return;
 // m_listctl is the member variable of the dialog which is of type CListCtl.
 BOOL bChecked = ListView_GetCheckState(m_listctl.m_hWnd, pNMListView->iItem);
 // if it’s checked uncheck everything else.
 int nCount;
 if (bChecked)
  for(nCount=0;nCount<m_listctl.GetItemCount();nCount++)
   if(nCount != pNMListView->iItem)
    m_listctl.SetCheck(nCount, FALSE);
}
