Program Plan Intro

  Radio button

  • A radio button or option button is a graphical control element that allows the user to choose only one of a predefined set of mutually exclusive options.
  • The singular property of a radio button makes it distinct from a checkbox, which allows more than one (or no) item to be selected and for the unselected state to be restored.
  • Radio buttons are arranged in groups of two or more and displayed on screen as, for example, a list of circular holes that can contain white space (for unselected) or a dot (for selected).

  Check box

  • A checkbox is a Graphical User Interface (GUI) widget that permits the user to make a binary choice, which is a choice between one of two possible mutually exclusive options.
  • Often, a series of checkboxes is presented, each with a binary choice between two options.
  • Then the user may select several of the choices.
