RadioButton[x,val]

represents a radio button whose setting x is set to val when the button is clicked.

RadioButton[x,val]

is displayed as when x is val, and as otherwise.

RadioButton[Dynamic[x],val]

takes the setting to be the dynamically updated current value of x, with the value of x being reset if the button is clicked.

RadioButton

RadioButton[x,val]

represents a radio button whose setting x is set to val when the button is clicked.

RadioButton[x,val]

is displayed as when x is val, and as otherwise.

RadioButton[Dynamic[x],val]

takes the setting to be the dynamically updated current value of x, with the value of x being reset if the button is clicked.

Examples

Basic Examples  (1)

Wolfram Language code: {RadioButton[], RadioButton[False, True]}

Dynamically change the value of x:

Wolfram Language code: {RadioButton[Dynamic[x], 0], RadioButton[Dynamic[x], 1], Dynamic[x]}

Scope  (1)

Labeled RadioButton instances:

Wolfram Language code: {Labeled[RadioButton[Dynamic[x], 0], 0, Right], Labeled[RadioButton[Dynamic[x], 1], 1, Right], Dynamic[x]}

Options  (9)

Appearance  (2)

Control the appearance:

Wolfram Language code: Table[RadioButton[False, True, Appearance -> a], {a, {Tiny, Small, Medium, Large}}]

Dynamically change the appearance:

Wolfram Language code: Table[RadioButton[Dynamic[x], a, Appearance -> Dynamic[x]], {a, {Tiny, Small, Medium, Large}}]

AutoAction  (1)

Values update as the cursor is moved over the clickable area:

Wolfram Language code: {RadioButton[Dynamic[x], 1, AutoAction -> True], RadioButton[Dynamic[x], 2, AutoAction -> True], Dynamic[x]}

Background  (2)

Set the background color:

Wolfram Language code: Table[RadioButton[Background -> b], {b, {Pink, Green, Yellow, Orange}}]

Dynamically change the background color:

Wolfram Language code: {RadioButton[Dynamic[x], Gray, Background -> Dynamic[x]], RadioButton[Dynamic[x], Pink, Background -> Dynamic[x]]}

BaselinePosition  (1)

Align with surrounding text:

Wolfram Language code: Row[Table[RadioButton[BaselinePosition -> b], {b, {Bottom, Center, Top}}], "xxx"]

Enabled  (2)

By default RadioButton is enabled:

Wolfram Language code: RadioButton[x, 0]

By setting Enabled->False, the radio button is disabled, but visible in its current state:

Wolfram Language code: RadioButton[x, 1, Enabled -> False]

ImageMargins  (1)

Increase the clickable area of RadioButton:

Wolfram Language code: Table[Framed@RadioButton[ImageMargins -> m], {m, {0, 5, 10, 20}}]

Properties & Relations  (2)

RadioButtonBar uses RadioButton with the same variable:

Wolfram Language code: {RadioButtonBar[Dynamic[x], {1, 2, 3}], Dynamic[x]}
Wolfram Language code: {Table[RadioButton[Dynamic[y], s], {s, {1, 2, 3}}], Dynamic[y]}

RadioButton is a special case of Setter:

Wolfram Language code: {Table[Setter[Dynamic[x], s], {s, {a, b, c}}], Dynamic[x]}
Wolfram Language code: {Table[RadioButton[Dynamic[y], s], {s, {a, b, c}}], Dynamic[y]}
