\class BRadioButton
\ingroup interface
\ingroup libbe
\brief A user interface control used to select between a set of mutually
exclusive options.
\image html BRadioButton_example.png
Radio buttons, unlike check boxes, are always used as part of a group.
Only one radio button in a group can be on at a time, when one is turned
on all sibling radio buttons are turned off. When a radio button is on it
has a value of 1 (\c B_CONTROL_ON), when it is off it has a value of 0
(\c B_CONTROL_OFF). Since all sibling radio buttons are connected to
create separate groups of radio buttons each group must be attached to
a different parent, for instance a separate BView.
Each radio button in a group sends its own BMessage, it's up to you to
determine what action takes place when each radio button is selected, if
any. The message is sent only when a radio button is turned on, not when
it is turned off.
