<a name="sec-radio-buttons"></a>Radio Button</h2></div></div></div>


<p>
There is no separate class for radio buttons. Check buttons and toggle buttons
act as radio buttons when they form a group. Only one button in a group can be
selected at any one time.
</p>

<div class="section">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="radiobutton-groups"></a>Groups</h3></div></div></div>

<p>
You create the buttons, and set up their group afterwards. In the following example,
we put 3 radio buttons in a group:
</p>

<pre class="programlisting"><code class="code">auto rb1 = Gtk::make_managed&lt;Gtk::CheckButton&gt;("button1");
auto rb2 = Gtk::make_managed&lt;Gtk::CheckButton&gt;("button2");
auto rb3 = Gtk::make_managed&lt;Gtk::CheckButton&gt;("button3");
rb2-&gt;set_group(*rb1);
rb3-&gt;set_group(*rb1);
</code></pre>

<p>
We told <span class="application">gtkmm</span> to put all three <code class="classname">CheckButton</code>s in the
same group by using <code class="methodname">set_group()</code> to tell the other
<code class="classname">CheckButton</code>s to share group with the first
<code class="classname">CheckButton</code>.
</p>

</div>

<div class="section">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="radiobutton-methods"></a>Methods</h3></div></div></div>

<p>
<code class="classname">CheckButton</code>s and <code class="classname">ToggleButton</code>s are "off"
when created; this means that when you first make a group of them, they will all be off.
Don't forget to turn one of them on using <code class="methodname">set_active()</code>.
</p>

<div class="section">

<p>
The following example demonstrates the use of grouped
<code class="classname">CheckButton</code>s:
