Detailed Description

A class for grouping radio buttons logically together.

A button group manages a set of radio buttons, making them exclusive of each other.

It is not a widget, but instead provides only a logical grouping. Radio buttons are aware of the group in which they have been added, see WRadioButton::group(). When a button is deleted, it is automatically removed its button group.

It allows you to associate id's with each button, which you may use to identify a particular button. The special value of -1 is reserved to indicate no button.

Usage example:

enum Vote { Republican = 1, Democrate = 2, NoVote = 10 };
// use a group box as widget container for 3 radio buttons, with a title
Wt::WGroupBox *container = new Wt::WGroupBox("USA elections vote");
// use a button group to logically group the 3 options
Wt::WButtonGroup *group = new Wt::WButtonGroup(this);
Wt::WRadioButton *button;
button = new Wt::WRadioButton("I voted Republican", container);
new Wt::WBreak(container);
group->addButton(button, Republican);
button = new Wt::WRadioButton("I voted Democrat", container);
new Wt::WBreak(container);
group->addButton(button, Democrate);
button = new Wt::WRadioButton("I didn't vote", container);
new Wt::WBreak(container);
group->addButton(button, NoVote);
group->setCheckedButton(group->button(NoVote));

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ~WButtonGroup()

Wt::WButtonGroup::~WButtonGroup ( )

Destructor.

This does not delete the radio buttons, but simply removes them from the group.

Member Function Documentation

◆ addButton() [1/2]

void Wt::WButtonGroup::addButton	(	WRadioButton *	button,
		int	id = `-1`
	)

Adds a radio button to the group.

You can assign an id to the button. If id is -1, then a unique id will be generated.

See also: removeButton(WRadioButton *)

◆ addButton() [2/2]

void Wt::WButtonGroup::addButton	(	Ext::RadioButton *	button,
		int	id = `-1`
	)

Adds a radio button to the group.

You can assign an id to the button. If id is -1, then a unique id will be generated.

See also: removeButton(Ext::RadioButton *)

◆ button()

WRadioButton * Wt::WButtonGroup::button ( int id ) const

Returns the button for the given id.

See also: id(), addButton()

◆ checkedButton()

WRadioButton * Wt::WButtonGroup::checkedButton ( ) const

Returns the checked radiobutton.

If there is no radiobutton currently checked this function returns 0.

See also: setCheckedButton(), selectedButtonIndex()

◆ checkedChanged()

Signal< WRadioButton * > & Wt::WButtonGroup::checkedChanged ( )

Signal emitted when a button was checked.

The argument passed is the new checkedButton().

◆ checkedId()

int Wt::WButtonGroup::checkedId ( ) const

Returns the id of the checked button.

Returns the id of the currently checked button, or -1 if no button is currently checked.

◆ id() [1/2]

int Wt::WButtonGroup::id ( WRadioButton * button ) const

Returns the id for the given button.

See also: button(), addButton()

◆ id() [2/2]

virtual const std::string Wt::WButtonGroup::id ( ) const

virtual

Returns the (unique) identifier for this object.

For a WWidget, this corresponds to the id of the DOM element that represents the widget. This is not entirely unique, since a composite widget shares the same id as its implementation.

By default, the id is auto-generated, unless a custom id is set for a widget using WWidget::setId(). The auto-generated id is created by concatenating objectName() with a unique number.

See also: WWidget::jsRef()

Reimplemented from Wt::WObject.

◆ removeButton() [1/2]

void Wt::WButtonGroup::removeButton ( WRadioButton * button )

Removes a radio button from the group.

See also: addButton(WRadioButton *, int)

◆ removeButton() [2/2]

void Wt::WButtonGroup::removeButton ( Ext::RadioButton * button )

Removes a radio button from the group.

See also: addButton(Ext::RadioButton *, int)

◆ selectedButtonIndex()

int Wt::WButtonGroup::selectedButtonIndex ( ) const

Returns the index of the checked radiobutton.

The index reflects the order in which the buttons have been added to the button group. Use checkedId() if you want to know the id of the button that is currently checked. If there is no radiobutton selected this function returns -1.

See also: checkedId()

◆ setCheckedButton()

void Wt::WButtonGroup::setCheckedButton ( WRadioButton * button )

Sets the currently checked radiobutton.

The button button of this group is checked. A value of 0 will uncheck all radiobuttons.

Initially, no button is checked.

See also: checkedId()

◆ setSelectedButtonIndex()

void Wt::WButtonGroup::setSelectedButtonIndex ( int idx )
