ButtonGroup editor

Button groups are used to create a multiple-exclusion scope for a set of buttons. Creating a set of buttons with the same ButtonGroup object means that turning "on" one of those buttons turns off all other buttons in that group (cited from "The Java Tutorial").

With RADi, you can create button groups from JRadioButtons, JToggleButtons and from JRadioButtonMenuItems.

The ButtonGroup Editor dialog

It is easy to define button groups:
From the Select button group combo box select the button group you wish to edit.
From the Select buttons list, select buttons for the current button group. Buttons already belonging to the current button group are selected, buttons belonging to another button group are greyed out and cannot be selected.
New button group creates a new button group.
Remove button group deletes the current button group definition.
Press OK to make changes permanent.
Cancel just closes the dialog, no changes will be stored.

Tip: Another way to define a button group is, to select all buttons for the new button group and then choose 'Create Button Group' from the .
