Radio Button

Radio buttons allow selection between multiple options. Only one button will be pressed at any time and pressing a new one will disable the currently pressed button.

They have the following properties:

  • Text

  • Display Type - Specifies to use text or symbols to label the button. When choosing Symbols, a system font or custom set of images may be used.

  • Button 1-N Label (only shown for Text Display Type) - Specifies the label for each button 1-N.

  • Font (only shown for Text Display Type) - Specifies to use a predefined, automatic or custom font for the button text.

  • On Text Color (only shown for Text Display Type) - Specifies the Text color when button is on

  • Off Text Color (only shown for Text Display Type) - Specifies the Text color when button is off

  • Button 1-N Symbol (only shown for Symbol Display Type) - Select the Symbol to use for each button 1-N.

  • Horz Offset - Specifies the number of pixels to shift the text or symbol horizontally within each button. Negative numbers shift it left; positive numbers shift it right.

  • Vert Offset - Specifies the number of pixels to shift the text or symbol vertically within each button. Negative numbers shift it up; positive numbers shift it down.

  • Horz Alignment - Specifies how the text or symbol is horizontally aligned within each button: left, center or right. The alignment and offset work together; in most cases it is best to set the Alignment first, and then the Offset.

  • Vert Alignment- Specifies how the text or symbol is vertically aligned within each button: top, center or bottom. The alignment and offset work together; in most cases it is best to set the Alignment first, and then the Offset.

  • Background Color

  • Transparent - Specifies if each button background is transparent

  • On Color (only shown if Transparent is False) - Specifies the button background color when each button is on.

  • Default Background (only shown if Transparent is False) - Specifies if each button should have the same background color when the button is off as the Control View. When set to true, it automatically sets the “Off Color” property below it to the appropriate color. Alternately, this will be set to False if the “Off Color” property is manually changed.

  • Off Color (only shown if Transparent is False) - Specifies the button background color when each button is off. If the Default Background property is set to true, this will be automatically set to the color of the Control View. Changing this will then change the Default Background property to False.

  • Options

  • User Adjustable - Specifies if each button’s state is user adjustable

  • Rows - Specifies the maximum number of rows of buttons to be displayed

  • Columns - Specifies the maximum number of columns of buttons to be displayed

  • Displayed Buttons - Specifies the number of total buttons. This must be less than Rows * Columns but does not need to be equal. For example, you could have 3 rows and 3 columns but only 7 buttons. This will hide the last two buttons in the third row or column depending on the Orientation property.

  • Orientation - Specifies if the orientation is horizontal or vertical. Changing this will flip the values in the Rows and Columns properties.
