WINDEV and WINDEV Mobile propose different display modes for the radio buttons:
  • standard radio button,
  • standard radio button with sub-captions,
  • radio button in Vista style (an image can be used for each option),
  • radio button in Vista style with sub-captions (an image can be used for each option).
The display mode of the radio button can be selected in the "General" tab of the control description. The "Content" tab is used to enter the characteristics specific to the display mode (image, sub-caption, row height, etc.) in the different languages of the application. These elements can be modified by programming.
