<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
The QRadioButton widget provides a radio button with a text or pixmap label.
<p>
<p> QRadioButton and <a href="qcheckbox.html">QCheckBox</a> are both option buttons. That is, they
can be switched on (checked) or off (unchecked). The classes
differ in how the choices for the user are restricted. Check boxes
define "many of many" choices, whereas radio buttons provide a
"one of many" choice. In a group of radio buttons only one radio
button at a time can be checked; if the user selects another
button, the previously selected button is switched off.
<p> The easiest way to implement a "one of many" choice is simply to
put the radio buttons into <a href="qbuttongroup.html">QButtonGroup</a>.
<p> Whenever a button is switched on or off it emits the signal
<a href="qbutton.html#toggled">toggled</a>(). Connect to this signal if you want to trigger an action
each time the button changes state. Otherwise, use <a href="#isChecked">isChecked</a>() to
see if a particular button is selected.
<p> Just like <a href="qpushbutton.html">QPushButton</a>, a radio button can display text or a
pixmap. The text can be set in the constructor or with <a href="qbutton.html#setText">setText</a>();
the pixmap is set with <a href="qbutton.html#setPixmap">setPixmap</a>().

</h3>
Constructs a radio button with no text.
<p> The <em>parent</em> and <em>name</em> arguments are sent on to the <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a>
constructor.
<h3 class=fn><a name="QRadioButton-2"></a>QRadioButton::QRadioButton ( const&nbsp;<a href="qstring.html">QString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;text, <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;parent, const&nbsp;char&nbsp;*&nbsp;name = 0 )
</h3>
Constructs a radio button with the text <em>text</em>.
<p> The <em>parent</em> and <em>name</em> arguments are sent on to the <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a>
constructor.
<h3 class=fn><a href="qkeysequence.html">QKeySequence</a> <a name="accel"></a>QButton::accel () const
</h3><p>Returns the accelerator associated with the button.
See the <a href="qbutton.html#accel-prop">"accel"</a> property for details.

<p> The <a href="qbuttongroup.html#clicked">QButtonGroup::clicked</a>() signal does the same job, if you want
to connect several buttons to the same slot.

for a button that has <a href="qbutton.html#autoRepeat-prop">autoRepeat</a> turned on.

<hr><h2>Property Documentation</h2>
<h3 class=fn><a href="qkeysequence.html">QKeySequence</a> <a name="accel-prop"></a>accel</h3>
<p>This property holds the accelerator associated with the button.
<p>This property is 0 if there is no accelerator set. If you set this
property to 0 then any current accelerator is removed.
<p>Set this property's value with <a href="#setAccel">setAccel</a>() and get this property's value with <a href="#accel">accel</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="autoMask-prop"></a>autoMask</h3>
<p>This property holds whether the radio button is automatically masked.
<p><p><p>See also <a href="qwidget.html#autoMask-prop">QWidget::autoMask</a>.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="autoRepeat-prop"></a>autoRepeat</h3>
<p>This property holds whether autoRepeat is enabled.
<p>If autoRepeat is enabled then the <a href="qbutton.html#clicked">clicked</a>() signal is emitted at
regular intervals if the button is down. This property has no
effect on toggle buttons. autoRepeat is off by default.
<p>Set this property's value with <a href="#setAutoRepeat">setAutoRepeat</a>() and get this property's value with <a href="#autoRepeat">autoRepeat</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="checked-prop"></a>checked</h3>
<p>This property holds whether the radio button is checked.
<p>This property will not effect any other radio buttons unless they
have been placed in the same <a href="qbuttongroup.html">QButtonGroup</a>. The default value is
FALSE (unchecked).
<p>Set this property's value with <a href="#setChecked">setChecked</a>() and get this property's value with <a href="#isChecked">isChecked</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a href="qpixmap.html">QPixmap</a> <a name="pixmap-prop"></a>pixmap</h3>
<p>This property holds the pixmap shown on the button.
<p>If the pixmap is monochrome (i.e. it is a <a href="qbitmap.html">QBitmap</a> or its <a href="qpixmap.html#depth">depth</a> is 1) and it does not have a mask,
this property will set the pixmap to be its own mask. The purpose
of this is to draw transparent bitmaps which are important for
toggle buttons, for example.
<p> <a href="qbutton.html#pixmap">pixmap</a>() returns 0 if no pixmap was set.
<p>Set this property's value with <a href="#setPixmap">setPixmap</a>() and get this property's value with <a href="#pixmap">pixmap</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a href="qstring.html">QString</a> <a name="text-prop"></a>text</h3>
<p>This property holds the text shown on the button.
<p>This property will return a <a href="qstring.html#QString-null">QString::null</a> if the button has no
text. If the text has an ampersand (&amp;) in it, then an
accelerator is automatically created for it using the character
that follows the '&amp;' as the accelerator key. Any previous
accelerator will be overwritten, or cleared if no accelerator is
defined by the text.
<p> There is no default text.
<p>Set this property's value with <a href="#setText">setText</a>() and get this property's value with <a href="#text">text</a>().
