Buttons Tab, Option Group Builder

  • Article

The Buttons tab in the Option Group Builder specifies the number of buttons, captions, and graphics. This builder also has the Layout tab and the Value tab.

When you choose OK, the builder closes, applying the property settings from every tab.

  • Number of Buttons
    Specifies the number of buttons the option group will have. This option corresponds to the ButtonCount property.

  • Standard
    Specifies radio-style option buttons. The Graphic column is disabled when Standard is selected.

  • Graphical
    Specifies rectangular option buttons. You can specify both caption and graphic in the columns when this is selected.

  • Caption Column
    Specifies the caption to display next to the button. Type the caption in the box, or leave it blank if you don't want a caption. This option corresponds to the Caption property.

  • Graphic Column
    Specifies the path and file name of the bitmap to display on the button. Type the path and file name in the box, or click the dialog button to display the Open dialog box so you can select a file. This option corresponds to the Picture property of the Option button.

    Note   Option buttons may have both captions and graphics. You can also specify graphics to be displayed when the button is disabled and when it is pressed, but you must do so programmatically or in the Properties window. For more details, see the DisabledPicture and DownPicture properties.
