variable associated with it.

Radio button: This control enables a user to make a single choice from a list in
which all of the choices are mutually exclusive.
The user navigates through the menu by selecting items. That is, the next menu to
appear in the interface is determined by which menu item the user selects. In
ImageUltra Builder 5.0 it is possible to create a menu that consists solely of
unselectable static text items. Also, in a multi-select menu, the user can select zero
or more check boxes. To determine which menu should appear next in these
situations, the following rules are enforced:
v
For single-select lists (lists with radio buttons):
Since one, and only one, radio button must be selected before the user can
continue to the next menu, the selected radio button determines the next menu.
v
for multi-select lists (lists with check boxes):
If one or more check boxes are selected, the last selected checkbox determines
the next menu. If no check box is selected, the last selected checkbox determines
the next menu to appear as well.
v
for lists consisting solely of unselectable static text items:
The last static text item determines the next menu.
Menu item text is automatically flowed (i.e. word-wrapped) to fit within the client
area of the map viewer window. The text associated with a menu item may contain
certain HTML elements. The following elements are recognized:
v

or radio button, it is also selected).
