Description

• 

The RadioButtonMenuItem menu element defines a menu entry with a radio button in a menu.

  

 

• 

The RadioButtonMenuItem element features can be modified by using options. To simplify specifying options in the Maplets package, certain options and contents can be set without using an equation. The following table lists elements, symbols, and types (in the left column) and the corresponding option or content (in the right column) to which inputs of this type are, by default, assigned.

Elements, Symbols, or Types

Assumed Option or Content

 

 

Action or command elements

onclick option

Image element

image option

refID

reference option

string or symbol

caption option

 

 

• 

A RadioButtonMenuItem element can contain Action or command elements to specify the onclick option and an Image element to specify the image option.

• 

A RadioButtonMenuItem element can be contained in a Menu or PopupMenu element.

• 

The following table describes the control and use of the RadioButtonMenuItem element options.

  

An x in the I column indicates that the option can be initialized, that is, specified in the calling sequence (element definition).

  

An x in the R column indicates that the option is required in the calling sequence.

  

An x in the G column indicates that the option can be read, that is, retrieved by using the Get tool.

  

An x in the S column indicates that the option can be written, that is, set by using the SetOption element or the Set tool.

The opts argument can contain one or more of the following equations that set Maplet application options.

  

 

  

caption = string or symbol

  

The caption that appears on the radio button menu item.  The caption can have a mnemonic key or access key associated with it.  For more information, see Maplets Mnemonic Key.

  

 

  

enabled = true or false

  

Whether a radio button menu item can be selected.  If enabled is set to false, the radio button menu item is dimmed, and any action associated with it cannot be initiated.  By default, the value is true.

  

 

  

group = reference to a ButtonGroup element (name or string)

  

A required option indicating the group to which the radio button belongs.

  

 

  

image = reference

  

A reference to an Image element.

  

 

  

onclick = Action or command element, or reference to an Action element (name or string)

  

The action that occurs when the radio button menu item is selected.

  

 

  

reference = name or string

  

A reference to the RadioButtonMenuItem element.

  

If the reference is specified by both an index, for example, RadioButtonMenuItem[refID], and a reference in the calling sequence, the index reference takes precedence.

  

 

  

value = true or false

  

Whether the radio button on the menu item is selected.  By default, the value is false.

  

 

  

visible = true or false

  

Whether the radio button menu item is visible to the user.  By default, the value is true.
