Grouping Radio Buttons

PerfectForms™ Help Guide > Designing a Form > Laying Out a Form > Grouping Objects Together >

The radio button group consists of three radio buttons that can be placed on a page as a linked group. The advantage over dragging individual radio buttons separately to the page is that you reduce steps since the group can be moved as a single unit and you avoid the task of aligning and formatting separate objects.

To group radio buttons:

1.	To group radio buttons, drag a Group object from the Common Visuals section of the Toolbox around the entire group of radio buttons. Alternatively, just insert a Radio Button Group object.

2.	The group properties will be displayed on the Properties bar. Under the Main section, select the Has Header check box to add a group header.

3.	While still in the Main section and Header sub-section, enter a group caption in the Caption field.

4.	In the Main section, go to the Style section to modify appearance.

Note: Only one Radio Button may be selected from a Radio Button Group. A consequence of this is that the value and caption of the Radio Button Group will be the value and caption of the Radio Button selected in that group.
