Chris Bartlett commented on PIVOT-677:
--------------------------------------
RadioButtonGroup extends the unchanged ButtonGroup, so the new functionality
will only be exposed if the new class is specifically used. It is intended for
what I consider to be the common use case where all radio buttons are in the
same container, however I tried to make it behave in a predictable and sane
manner for other scenarios too. The problem was not knowing what those
scenarios might be.
Greg -
Can you give any examples of having buttons in different containers where you
think the behaviour might be strange? And are you talking about the focus side
of things or navigation/selection too?
The only multi-container scenario I could think of for the demo was having
RadioButtons aligned via a TablePane's columns, and that looks fine to me. See
the RadioButtons in 'Container 1' to 'Container 6' in the demo app, which can
be found here
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pivot/trunk/examples/src/org/apache/pivot/examples/buttons/radio_button_group_example.bxml
I'm not clear about what you are suggesting with RadioButton (And again, are
you referring to just focus or selection/navigation?).
Could you elaborate a bit further?
Sorry if I am being slow :)

>
> LEFT or UP arrows would select the previous enabled button in the group.
> RIGHT or DOWN arrows would select the next enabled button in the group.
> Optionally, HOME & END would select the first or last enabled button in
> respectively.
> This functionality could be added to the existing
> org.apache.pivot.wtk.ButtonGroup class, or a new class named RadioButtonGroup
> could be created.
> The ButtonGroup would track the order that the buttons were added and use it
> to select the appropriate button.
