1 Radio buttons are identical to Checkboxes but grouped so that only one checkbox in a group can be on at a time. They use same class for checkboxes, but add CheckboxGroup class.
  • CheckboxGroup cbg = new CheckboxGroup();
  • cb1 = new Checkbox("Red", cbg, false));
  • cb2 = new Checkbox("Green", cbg, false));
  • cb3 = new Checkbox("Blue", cbg, true));
  • add(cb1); add(cb2); add(cb3);

  • cb = cbg.getSelectedCheckbox();
