Declaration
TIB_CustomRadioGroup = class(TCustomGroupBox)

Description
This control has been designed to provide a selection from a set group of options based on a mutually exclusive set of radio buttons.

Use the Items property to set the names of the buttons.

Use the Values property to specify alternate values that will correspond with the values in the field to which the control is bound.

Here is a typical use of a gender field :


object EditGENDER: TIB_RadioGroup
Width = 130
Height = 21
Columns = 2
Items.Strings = (
'Male'
'Female')
Values.Strings = (
'M'
'F')
DataField = 'GENDER'
DataSource = dsQuery
end



The backspace key will toggle the current button on and off.
