Adding a group of radio button controls
A group of radio button controls lets an end user choose one value from a selection of values. When an end user clicks one radio button, it deselects all the other radio buttons in the group. To add a group of radio button controls to a form:
- Use the Radio Button tool
to draw several radio button controls in the form box. - Select one of the radio button controls and then choose Item > Modify and click the Form tab.
- Choose Radio Button from the Type drop-down menu, if necessary.
- Radio button controls with the same name are considered to be in the same group. Decide on a name for the radio button group and enter that name in the Group field.
- To specify a value for the selected radio button, enter a value in the Value field.
- Repeat steps 2–5 until you have created and configured all the radio button controls in the group.
- To make one of the radio button controls selected by default, select that radio button, choose Item > Modify, click the Form tab, and then check Use as Default.
- To indicate that one of the radio buttons in the group must be selected before the form can be submitted, select any of the radio button controls and check Required. Checking Required for one radio button control checks the box for all of the radio button controls in the group.
- Click OK.
