Description
Provides a container group for Radio components. The RadioGroup itself must be within a Form component. The Radio and RadioGroup components work together to update a property of an object, much like a more flexible version of a PropertySelection.

This component should wrap around other Radio components.

Examples

This RadioGroup example illustrates an order form where a user can select the order size. Note how the OrderPage.detach() method is used to reset the default selected Radio button to Medium.

The title border effect is achieved using the HTML <fieldset><legend>.. </legend>.. </fieldset> tags.

Order Size   Small
  Medium
  Large
