Radio Buttons control (deprecated)

This control creates a group of radio buttons from which the user can select one. The radio buttons in the group derive from the list provided by the data binding or the selection service or a union of both lists.

Tip: The deprecated Radio Buttons control is replaced with the responsive Radio Button control in the Responsive Coaches toolkit. See Radio Button control.

When you add a Radio Button control to a coach or coach view, it has default values. At design time, its appearance depends on whether you are using the web editor or the desktop editor in Process Designer.

Restrictions and limitations

None

Data binding

Set the data binding for the control in the General properties tab.

Table 1. Radio Buttons control data binding
Binding description	Data type
Sets the initial selection and then contains subsequent selections	ANY `(List)`

Configuration properties

Set or modify control configuration in the Configuration properties tab.

Screen size: A configuration property that has the Screen Sizes icon beside the property name can have different values for each screen size. If you do not set a value, the screen size inherits the value of the next larger screen size as its default value. If you are using the Process Designer desktop editor, you are setting the value for the large screen size. The other screen sizes inherit this value.

Table 2. Radio Buttons control configuration properties
Configuration property	Description	Data type
Selection Service	Identifies the service that is called using Ajax to dynamically return a list of options to display as radio buttons. You can use the selection service input text option to identify the specific list that the service returns. The default value is `Default Selection Service`, which serves as a template for the selection service implementation that you must provide.	`Service` Input: `text(String)` Output: `results(ANY)(List)`
Selection List	Identifies the list that contains options to show as radio buttons.	`SelectionType`
Selection Service Input Text	Provides the text to send to the selection service as input. For example, if the selection service contains named lists, enter the name of the list that you want.	`String`
Display Name Property	For data objects in selection lists that are not `String` or `NameValuePair` types, specify which property to use as their display names. The default value is `name`. For example, if you have a business object with parameters called `field1` and `field2`, and you want to use `field2` as the display name, enter `field2` or set this property to a variable that contains `"field2"` as a string. The default value is `name`.	`String`
Disable Sorting	Specifies whether to display the radio buttons sorted alphabetically by label or by the order in which they appear in the list. The default value is not selected (`False)`.	`Boolean`
Layout	Specifies whether the radio buttons stack vertically or align horizontally. The default value is `Vertical`.	`RadioButtonsOrientation`
