hi and welcome to another training video
from XM pro today we will be looking at
how to use the radio buttons component
as a prerequisite I'd recommend going
through the video on how to create data
sources before watching this video the
radio buttons component can be found in
the basic section of the blocks this
component doesn't look like much on the
designer because I haven't added any
data yet to add data go to the data
source accordion item of the block
properties and then you can choose
static items or a dynamic data source
I'm going to go with dynamic data to
begin with and then you choose your data
source I have created this data source
previously and then you go into the data
tab and choose your display expression
this is the column that's going to show
up as the label and then the value
expression this is what the value of the
item that you select is going to be now
if I just save this and launch then we
can see how this looks so we've got a
list of people and you can click on one
of them to select them there are a
couple of properties that you can change
appearance visible is self-explanatory
and then orientation if I say horizontal
then the radio buttons are going to go
left to right instead of top to bottom
there's also disabled in the behavior so
if I launch this with horizontal this is
how it looks I'm going to drag in
another radio buttons to show you the
static items so if you go into data
source and change the mode to static
items then it gives you a grid where you
can add your items here
I'll sort by value just to be there we
go yep so we've got three items in here
if we save this and launch why is it
okay then we've got John Becky and David
for the second radio button opponent and
the original ones still there this has
been how to use the radio buttons
component
