you can do that, but only in a very limited way. You can connect some "governor" to the radios "string" or "number" properties. Now, if the governor value matches the value of one of the option, that option will be selected. The problem is, that the governor will most likely be a "convert" logic element, and that is limited to the values "true"/"false" (or 0/1, if you use the "numeric" modifier). So that's not too useful, when you want to set e.g. the third option in a radio. One way around this would be to allow specification of the string values of a "convert" property. However, for now you can only connect a single "governor" to each property, so this will not help much, if you need to select between several options based on several conditions, either. Another option would be to add a property "selected" to each option in the radio, similar to the property "enabled" that already exists for single options (so you can disable some options in a radio). However, what happens, if the current option is changed to not selected? Theoretically no option is selected, now, and that would make for an invalid choice in the radio. Or does it only work one way, i.e. you can set an option to be selected, but not to not-selected? I'm just not sure how to do this, yet. Suggestions (if the above sounds too technical, perhaps post some pseudo-plugin-xml, that shows how it could look like, and I'll see how this can be implemented)? > I hope the initial author feels comfortable with this.

This was originally created by Adrien Hardemare, and while it has undergone a substantial number of revisions since then, the basic layout has remained the same. On your points 2 and 3, I guess I'll need to see what it looks like when done. I'm somewhat afraid that it will not be so easy to find the options of interest, anymore. However, I have not really thought this through, and layout changes are easy to do and undo, so just go ahead and give it a try. Regards Thomas
