The RadioButtons edit style

If a column can take one of a small number of values, you might want to display the column as radio buttons:

Shown are three radio buttons grouped in a white box.

StepsTo use the RadioButtons edit style:

  1. Select RadioButtons from the Style Type list and specify properties for that style.

  2. Specify how many radio buttons will display in the Columns Across box.

  3. Enter a set of display and data values for each button you want to display.

    The display values you enter become the text of the buttons; the data values are put in the DataWindow buffer when the button is clicked.

What happens

Users select values by clicking a radio button. When the Update method is issued, the data values are sent to the database.
