Parameters

aContents (Optional)
Type: Usual
The array containing existing radio buttons or the values that should be used to create radio buttons. A two-dimensional array may be used to define the values to be returned to the program when a radio button is selected; this 'other' value is what is returned in the RadioButtonGroup:Value property, and what is stored in the database if the control is associated with a database field. If a one-dimensional array is specified, the values are returned as 1, 2, 3... Thus, the array may be specified in one of two formats: 1. One-dimensional array containing radio button objects that are to be linked to the group 2. Two-dimensional arrays, each element containing a RadioButton object and the corresponding value returned to the program Note: the two dimensional array has the same structure as that returned by DBServer:GetLookupTable().

Return Value

Type: Usual
Remarks
For fixed structures, the individual radio buttons may be created as regular controls, either dynamically or through a resource entity, and assigned to the group through the FillUsing() method.
Tip Tip
The radio button group may be associated with a database field, just like any other control.
Examples
Create a radio button group with different currencies, showing an explicit representation to the user but using a different representation internally. This example, shown below, with the radio buttons explicitly created through a resource entity. The code simply links the radio buttons to the group:
