Screen shot of what it looks like:
(you need 9 label controls set font size to something big, and make them all the same size).
Form variables.
Private playerLastPlayed As Integer = 0 'initially no one went
Which will hold the value of the last player that went.
When each label is clicked, this function will get called.
Private Sub Label1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Label1.Click, Label2.Click, Label3.Click, Label4.Click, Label5.Click, Label6.Click, Label7.Click, Label8.Click, Label9.Click
labelClicked(sender)
End Sub
Private Sub labelClicked(ByVal lbl As Label)
If RadioButton1.Checked Then
If playerLastPlayed = 1 Then
MessageBox.Show("its not your turn")
Return
End If
lbl.Text = "X"
playerLastPlayed = 1 'player one played
Else
If playerLastPlayed = 2 Then
MessageBox.Show("its not your turn")
Return
End If
lbl.Text = "O"
playerLastPlayed = 2 'player two played
End If
'disable so its no longer clickable (make that square used)
lbl.Enabled = False
checkForWinner(1)
checkForWinner(2)
End Sub
Now we must check to see if there is a winner.

reset()

reset()

End If
End Sub
Now lets see the reset function.
Private Sub reset()
'remove the x, o
For Each lbl As Control In Me.Controls
If lbl.GetType Is GetType(Label) Then
lbl.Text = ""
End If
Next
'reset last player played.
