public class RadioGroup

extends Field

Provides a RadioGroup control.

Radio Group

Red Green Blue

The RadioGroup control provides a Field for containing grouped Radio buttons. Radio controls added to a RadioGroup will have their name set to that of the RadioGroup. This will ensure the buttons will toggle together so that only one button is selected at a time.

RadioGroup Example

The example below illustrates a RadioGroup being added to a form.

 public class Purchase extends Page {

     public Form form = new Form();

     private RadioGroup radioGroup = new RadioGroup("packaging");

     public Purchase() {
         radioGroup.add(new Radio("STD", "Standard "));
         radioGroup.add(new Radio("PRO", "Protective "));
         radioGroup.add(new Radio("GFT", "Gift Wrap "));
         radioGroup.setValue("STD");
         radioGroup.setVerticalLayout(true);
         form.add(radioGroup);

         ..
     }
 } 

This radio group field would be render as:

Packaging
