The following members return RadioGroup objects:
Remarks
The RadioGroup editor allows an end-user to select one of several options. Selecting an item deselects the one previously selected, so only one item can be selected at a time.
An end-user can switch between group buttons by clicking the required button with the mouse or by pressing the arrow keys. The Page Up and Page Down buttons set the first and last items respectively.
Radio buttons in the control are represented by RadioGroupItem objects. To create a radio group control, create a RadioGroup object and add RadioGroupItem items to the RepositoryItemRadioGroup.Items collection (accessible via the control’s RadioGroup.Properties property).
Use the RepositoryItemRadioGroup.ItemsLayout property to specify how items are arranged. Two item arrangement modes are supported:
Column (Default)
Flow
On screen, radio buttons are identified by specific display captions. Use the RadioGroupItem.Description property to set an item’s caption. Each radio button must be associated with a specific value via the RadioGroupItem.Value property. On selecting an item, its value is automatically assigned to the control’s value specified by the BaseEdit.EditValue property.
Radio group item display captions cannot be localized in the manner standard RadioButton controls can. See this article to learn more.
To get the selected item, use the RadioGroup.SelectedIndex property. This represents the selected item’s index in the RepositoryItemRadioGroup.Items collection. To change the selected item programmatically, you can use the RadioGroup.SelectedIndex property or directly set the editor’s BaseEdit.EditValue property.
CheckEdit controls can also be used to represent a group of radio buttons. See the RepositoryItemCheckEdit.RadioGroupIndex topic to learn more.
Pager Navigation
The RadioGroup and WindowsUIButtonPanel can be used as a pager for the following controls:
The pager automatically splits the target control’s content into pages, and provides navigation buttons to scroll to corresponding pages. The pager navigation functionality is implemented as a Behavior and can be added to your controls using the BehaviorManager component.
Example
The following code shows how to add items to a RadioGroup and then select one of the items. To select an item, the item’s value is assigned to the editor’s BaseEdit.EditValue property.
using DevExpress.XtraEditors.Controls;
// Create five items.
object[] itemValues = new object[] {10, 11, 12, 13, 14};
string [] itemDescriptions = new string [] {"Circle", "Rectangle", "Ellipse", "Triangle", "Square"};
for(int i = 0; i < itemValues.Length; i++) {
radioGroup1.Properties.Items.Add(new RadioGroupItem(itemValues[i], itemDescriptions[i]));
}
//Select the Rectangle item.
radioGroup1.EditValue = 11;
