8.3.1 Creating a Radio Button/Check Box/Combo Box
To create a Radio Button/CheckBox/ComboBox, follow the steps below.
1. Drag a Radio Button/CheckBox/ComboBox control from the Component tree onto the Viewsheet grid.
2. Right-click the control and select 'Properties' from the context menu. This opens the Radio Button/CheckBox/ComboBox 'Properties' dialog box.
3. If you will use the Radio Button/CheckBox/ComboBox to set dynamic properties for another element, follow these steps:
a. Select the General tab, and enter a 'Name' for the control. This is the name by which the control is identified in dynamic property menus. (See Dynamic Properties.)
b. Click 'OK' to finish.
Note: If you plan to use the input control to set dynamic properties, you do not need to specify an Embedded Table under the Data tab.
4. If you will use the Radio Button/CheckBox/ComboBox to set values in a Worksheet Embedded Table or Variable, follow the steps below. (See Passing Inputs to an Embedded Table or Variable for more details.)
a. Select the Data tab.
b. From the 'Target' list, select an Embedded Table Data Block or Variable in the linked Worksheet.
The format shown is “row: value.” The left number is the row index, the right number is the current value in that row (i.e., the default value).
c. For an Embedded Table, from the 'Column' list, select the desired field of the Embedded Table. From the 'Row' list, select the row of the table to which the input control should provide data.

d. Click 'OK'.
5. Select the General tab, and populate the Radio Button/CheckBox/ComboBox control with the values it will display. There are three methods:
a. Manually enter a list of values and labels: See Populating Label/Value Pairs Manually.
b. Specify a query to generate a list of values and labels: See Populating Label/Value Pairs from Query.
c. For ComboBox only, you can acquire the input via a calendar widget. See Acquiring Date Input Using a Calendar Control.
6. Click 'OK' to close the dialog box.
