RADIOBUTTON text, id, x, y, width, height, [style]The RADIOBUTTON statement creates a radio-button control. The control is a small circle that has the given text displayed next to it, typically to its right. The control highlights the circle and sends a message to its parent window when the user selects the button. The control removes the highlight and sends a message when the button is next selected.
text
Specifies text that is centered in the rectangular area of the control. This parameter must contain zero or more characters enclosed in double quotation marks. Character values must be in the range 1 through 255. If a double quotation mark is required in the text, you must include the double quotation mark twice. An ampersand (&) character in the text indicates that the following character is
used as a mnemonic character for the control. When the control is displayed, the ampersand is not shown, but the mnemonic character is underlined. The user can choose the control by pressing the key corresponding to the underlined mnemonic character.
id
Specifies the control identifier. This value must be an integer in the range 0 through 65,535 or an expression consisting of integers and the additon (+) operator that evaluates to a value in that range.
x
Specifies the x-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the control. This value must be an integer in the range 0 through 65,535 or an expression consisting of integers and the addition (+) operator that evaluates to a value in that range. The coordinate is assumed to be in dialog units and is relative to the origin of the dialog box containing the radio button.
y
Specifies the y-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the control. This value must be an integer in the range 0 through 65,535 or an expression consisting of integers and the addition (+) operator that evaluates to a value in that range. The coordinate is assumed to be in dialog units and is relative to the origin of the dialog box containing the radio button.
width
Specifies the width of the control. This value must be an integer in the range 1 through 65,535 or an expression consisting of integers and the addition (+) operator that evaluates to a value in that range. The width is in dialog units.
height
Specifies the height of the control. This value must be an integer in the range 1 through 65,535 or an expression consisting of integers and the addition (+) operator that evaluates to a value in that range. The height is in dialog units.
style
This optional parameter specifies styles for the radio button, which can be a combination of BUTTON-class styles and the following styles: WS_TABSTOP, WS_DISABLED, and WS_GROUP.
Horizontal dialog units are 1/4 of the dialog base width unit. Vertical units are 1/8 of the dialog base height unit. The current dialog base units are computed from the height and width of the current system font. The GetDialogBaseUnits function returns the dialog base units in pixels. The coordinates are relative to the origin of the dialog box.
The default style for RADIOBUTTON is BS_RADIOBUTTON and WS_TABSTOP.
The following example demonstrates the usage of the RADIOBUTTON statement:
RADIOBUTTON "Italic", 100, 10, 10, 40, 10
