WebRadioButton usage
Locked

Does anyone have an example of using radio buttons in Aida?
I can't seem to figure out how to add more than one button by doing something like:
e add: (WebRadioButton new value: #radioTest).
adding another button with the same "value" works, but they are not "grouped." Clicking one does not turn the other one off.
Basically, I think I need an example!

Well, last time I tried using radio buttons, I also didn't get it by myself ;) So, they obviously need some work on "user friendliness" of their usage. Any takers?

What I really still can't figure out is why the onChangePost doesn't cause a WebCheckBox to refresh when switching tabs! By the way, the reception for the Smalltalk Solutions was tonight; it was very exciting and energizing to be around so many people with so much enthusiasm around Smalltalk.

If I can figure it out, I'll let you know! I'll probably give it somewhat of a try, but it is not "critical" for my application because I can get the same effect with a drop down menu. They just look different. Although, it would be useful at times in a table or a grid where I just want the user to be able to select only one row and not multiples, so I'll keep playing! I played with this enough to get it "working" so I can understand it. I'll fix this up and give you a patch...! Basically, you need to add something like: WebRadioButton>>acceptFormInputFrom: aPostDataDictionary |val| val := (aPostDataDictionary at: self name). self object perform: (self aspect asString, ':') asSymbol with: val and declare your radio buttons something like: e add: (WebRadioButton new value: #radio1; name: 'radioTest'; object: self; aspect: #radio). e addSpace. e add: (WebRadioButton new value: #radio2; name: 'radioTest'; object: self; aspect: #radio). which in the end returns a string 'radio1' or 'radio2' I just need to clean make some nice convenience accessors like WebElement>>addRadioButtonAspect: anAspectSymbol value: aSymbol group: aString for: anObject. and maybe addCheckedRadioButtonAspect...etc... and investigate how to preset the object value when the page is first drawn.

So, the community question is: Do you want a WebRadioButton to return a string value corresponding to the choice you made, much like a drop-down menu, or an index, or both, or...? Anyway, it's a start...just need to have it make sense with a WebGrid, and you could force a choice of just one item...

One LAST thing...!
If you wanted a WebRadioGroup WebComponent (or something like that), what would be the best way to "draw a frame" around the group and label it? I haven't done anything like that yet... Rob On Thu, Jun 19, 2008 at 3:11 AM, Rob Rothwell <[hidden email]> wrote:

A DIV controlled over CSS with borders?

In reply to this post by Rob Rothwell
In other languages, the normal way is to ask to the control, if it's
selected or not, returning True or False. A RadioButton, normally, don't answer nothing, only true or false. If you group this radiobuttons, on a GroupRadioButton, then, for example, you could do something like: GroupRadioButton>>wichSelected returning the RadioButton selected for example. Only my 2 cents.

And if you think a bit, a group of radio buttons is very similar by function to WebMemu (a drop-down menu). Here also you have one selection among all provided. So we can simply copy the protocol from WebMenu to WebRadioButtonGroup. Then we just need to get individual RadioButtons from this group and place them on the webpage. Or simply put a whole group there? But radio buttons can be placed horizontally, vertically, even with some arbitrary placement ....

GroupRadioButton, can hold a collection of RadioButtons, and the behaviour how RadioButtons are displayed. Horizontal, Vertical, "table" 3 columns, etc..
