RadioButtons allow users to select a single choice from among a group of mutually-exclusive possible values.RadioButton component
RadioButtons allow users to select a single choice from among a group of mutually-exclusive possible values.
RadioButtons by definition are part of a group of at least two or more. If you select one RadioButton in the group, all other RadioButtons are unselected. The selected option becomes the value that applies to the linked field.
To create a group of RadioButtons
You must add each RadioButton control in the group consecutively.
Add the first RadioButton control of a group, set its group property to true.
Add each subsequent RadioButton control in the group, setting its group property to false.
To start another group, set the group property of the first RadioButton control in the next group to true.
To link a group of RadioButtons to a table field
You must link all RadioButtons in a group to the same table field, so when the user chooses a RadioButton, its value is inserted into the field. To do so,
Select all the RadioButton controls.
In the Inspector, click the wrench tool beside the dataLink property.
From the Choose Field dialog box, select a field from those available in the table of the selected active query. Or, enter an expression in the text box next to the dataLink property.
Specifying values to enter in the table field
When the user chooses a RadioButton, its value is entered into the linked table field. You specify the value to enter by setting the text property. Unlike the text property in other controls, the text value you set for a RadioButton control has two purposes—it is the descriptive label and the actual value entered in the table field.
Note: The value property of a RadioButton control is true or false, indicating whether or not it's selected. The value property is not equal to the value of the linked field.
