Hello,

Check Boxes and Radio Button deals exactly the same way and you can perform below-mentioned operations on either of them.

By id:

If ID is given for the Radio Button/CheckBox and you just want to click on it irrespective of it’s value, then the command will be like this:

IWebElement radioBtn = driver.FindElement(By.Id("toolsqa"));

radioBtn.Click();

With Value

You can even select Radio Buttons/Check Boxes with their Values.

// Find the checkbox or radio button element by Name

IList <IWebElement> oCheckBox = driver.FindElements(By.Name("tool"));

// This will tell you the number of checkboxes are present

int Size = oCheckBox.Count;

// Start the loop from first checkbox to last checkboxe

for (int i = 0; i < Size; i++)

{

// Store the checkbox name to the string variable, using 'Value' attribute

String Value = oCheckBox.ElementAt(i).GetAttribute("value");

// Select the checkbox it the value of the checkbox is same what you are looking for

if (Value.Equals("toolsqa"))

{

oCheckBox.ElementAt(i).Click();          

// This will take the execution out of for loop

break;

}

}

By CssSelector

A simple way of selecting a check-box or radio button is by using its value:

IWebElement oCheckBox = driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("input[value='Tools QA']")); oCheckBox.Click();

Hope it helps!! Thank you!
