Form Editor - RadioButton Help

Form Editor - RadioButton

The RadioButton control provides a radio button with a text label.

A RadioButton is an option button that can be switched on (checked) or off (unchecked). Radio buttons typically present the user with a “one of many” choice. In a group of radio buttons, only one radio button at a time can be checked; if the user selects another button, the previously selected button is switched off.

Radio buttons are auto-exclusive: radio buttons that belong to the same parent layout behave as if they were part of the same group. If you need multiple exclusive button groups, put them in separate layouts.

Properties

Form Editor - RadioButton Properties

  • Name – The name of the control.
  • Text – The text written next to the radio button.
  • Checked – Defines whether the control is checked or not.

Widget

  • Auto Fill Background – This property holds whether the control background is filled automatically.
  • Enabled – Defines whether the control is enabled or not.
  • Font – This property holds the font currently set for the control. The default depends on the system environment.
  • Palette – This property describes the control's palette.

The palette is used by the control's style when rendering. The color roles from this palette are combined with the control's default palette to form the control's final palette. The default depends on the system environment and may be different on different platforms. Control propagates explicit palette roles from parent to child. If you assign a brush or color to a specific role on a palette, that role will propagate to all the control's children, overriding any system defaults for that role.

  • Tooltip – The tooltip text.

Layout Item

  • Alignment – Defines both the horizontal and vertical alignment.
  • Expand Horizontal – If ON the control is expanded horizontally.
  • Expand Vertical – If ON the control is expanded vertically.

Size

  • Width – The width of the control.
  • Height – The height of the control (Disabled).

Signals

QAbstractButton

  • clicked( checked ) – This signal is emitted when the button is activated (i.e., pressed down then released while the mouse cursor is inside the button), when the shortcut key is typed, or when click() or animateClick() is called. If the button is checkable, checked is true if the button is checked, or false if the button is unchecked.
  • pressed – This signal is emitted when the button is pressed down.
  • released – This signal is emitted when the button is released.
  • toggled( checked ) – This signal is emitted whenever a checkable button changes its state. This may be the result of a user action, click() or because the checked property is set. The checked argument is true if the button is checked, or false if the button is unchecked.
