Radio Buttons?

by Jaimi McEntire · in Constructor · 05/08/2007 (3:24 pm) · 1 replies

Is there a way to create Radio Buttons in the Plugin::Interface function?

I've already tried the obvious:

%form.addField( -1, "Roof", "divider");
%form.addField( 15, "8 in 10", "radiobutton");
%form.addField( 16, "6 in 10", "radiobutton");
%form.addField( 17, "Percentage", "radiobutton");

But I recieve this error:

DC::BuildControl(): Could not build control of type 'radioButton'

It's possible to get the functionality with a popup, but it makes the GUI look wrong (with various detached edit boxes under the popup)

OK - With a bit of trial and error, I've figured it out. In case anyone else needs to know how to make a set of radio buttons, here is an example:

%form.addField(12,"Roof Slope", "radio");
%form.addFieldListItem(12,"6 in 10");
%form.addFieldListItem(12,"8 in 10");
%form.addFieldListItem(12,"10 in 10");
%form.addFieldListItem(12,"Specify Height");


The %value of the control will be 0 based (in this example, the possible values are 0,1,2,3).
