Radio Control

This control allows you to select one option from a group of two or more options. As with traditional radio buttons, you can group two or more of these controls; then, the user can select one of the options in the group.

A unique value is assigned to each radio button. The value assigned to the selected radio button control is saved in the task sequence variable configured for this control.

Layout Properties

Layout properties are used to configure the UI characteristics of the control and are configured on the Layout tab in the UDI Wizard Designer. Table 52 lists the layout properties for the Radio control and provides a brief description of each property.
