<p>Buttons and check buttons are simple to understand, radio buttons are more difficult. Each radio button has a group and a value option. The group option is used to group together two or more radio buttons. Normally, each radio button within a group has a unique value which means that only one radio button can be selected at a time. If two (or more) radio buttons share the same value and one of them is selected, then both will be selected and all others are de-selected. The following short example shows how to program radio button logic in a situation where two of them share the same value.</p>

<icaption>Radio Button Group with Last Button Selected</icaption>
</image>
<p>The example shown creates three radio buttons which are members of the same group. The default behavior is that all radio buttons created by the same process are members of the same group. Normally, only one in a group may be selected at the same time, but since we defined the value-option to have the same value for <c><![CDATA[rb1]]></c> and <c><![CDATA[rb2]]></c>, they will both be selected/de-selected simultaneously. The normal radio button group behavior is that all radio buttons within the same group have unique default values.</p>

<p>A label is a simple text field which is used to display text to the user. It is possible to have several lines of text by inserting newline '\
' characters between each line. The label object does not automatically adjust its size so that text will fit inside. This has to be done manually, or the text may be clipped at the edges.</p>

<p>A common usage of the entry object is to listen for the 'Return' key event and then read the text field. The following example shows a simple dialog which prompts the user for a name and returns the tuple <c><![CDATA[{name,Name}]]></c> when a name is entered, or <c><![CDATA[cancel]]></c> if the cancel button is pressed.</p>
<codeinclude file="examples/ex9.erl" tag="" type="erl"></codeinclude>
<p>The program draws the dialog and waits for the user to either press the return key or click one of the buttons. It then reads the text option of the entry and returns the string to the client process.</p>

<title>Grid</title>
<p>The grid object is similar to the listbox object. The main difference is that the grid is a multi-column object which is used to display tables. If needed, the grid can send click events when a user presses the mouse button in a table cell. Although the grid has a behavior which is similar to the listbox, the programming is somewhat different. The data in a table cell is represented as a pure <c><![CDATA[gs]]></c> object and can be treated as such. This object is called a grid line. It is located at a row in the parent grid. If a grid line is clicked, it sends an event to its owner.</p>
