Radio Buttons are used to select one item over another.

The Variable assigned to the Radio Button should be the same for each of the choices but the Values should be different.

For example, the script in a Dialog may look like:

MyDialog003=`33,9,84,14,RADIOBUTTON,"Radio_Blues",music,"Blues",1,3,DEFAULT,DEFAULT,DEFAULT,DEFAULT`

MyDialog004=`33,31,84,14,RADIOBUTTON,"Radio_Jazz",music,"Jazz",2,4,DEFAULT,DEFAULT,DEFAULT,DEFAULT`

The Variable "music" is the same on both lines but the Text and the Value attributes are different.

Note: Radio Button cannot have a value of 0.

To test the return value, the variable can be placed in an If structure.

If music == 1

   Message("Music", "Let's play the blues.") 

else

   Message("Music", "Let's play the Jazz.") 

endif

Don't limit yourself to using if/endif statements. The Switch structure provides a more efficient way to test multiple values. For more information on Switch, see the Windows Interface Language help file.
