# wxRadioButton (wx v2.5.2)

View Source

A radio button item is a button which usually denotes one of several mutually exclusive options.

It has a text label next to a (usually) round button.

You can create a group of mutually-exclusive radio buttons by specifying `wxRB_GROUP` for the first in the group. The group ends when another radio button group is created, or there are no more radio buttons.

## Styles

This class supports the following styles:

- wxRB_GROUP: Marks the beginning of a new group of radio buttons.

- wxRB_SINGLE: In some circumstances, radio buttons that are not consecutive siblings trigger a hang bug in Windows (only). If this happens, add this style to mark the button as not belonging to a group, and implement the mutually-exclusive group behaviour yourself.

- Overview events

- `wxRadioBox`

- `wxCheckBox`

This class is derived, and can use functions, from:

- `wxControl`

- `wxWindow`

- `wxEvtHandler`

# Functions

# create(This, Parent, Id, Label)

    -spec create(This, Parent, Id, Label) -> boolean()
                    when

# new(Parent, Id, Label)

    -spec new(Parent, Id, Label) -> wxRadioButton()
                 when Parent :: wxWindow:wxWindow(), Id :: integer(), Label :: unicode:chardata().

Equivalent to `new(Parent, Id, Label, [])`.

                         {validator, wx:wx_object()}.

Constructor, creating and showing a radio button.

See: `create/5`

# setValue(This, Value)

    -spec setValue(This, Value) -> ok when This :: wxRadioButton(), Value :: boolean().

Sets the radio button to checked or unchecked status.

This does not cause a `wxEVT_RADIOBUTTON` event to get emitted.

If the radio button belongs to a radio group exactly one button in the group may be checked and so this method can be only called with `value` set to true. To uncheck a radio button in a group you must check another button in the same group.

Note: Under MSW, the focused radio button is always selected, i.e. its value is true. And, conversely, calling `SetValue(true)` will also set focus to the radio button if the focus had previously been on another radio button in the same group - as otherwise setting it on wouldn't work.
