Radio button or check box Provides a user interface for option selection. There are two modes of operation: radio button and checkbox. Cycling '74 Max U/I Flags and Commands TEXT_HERE Flags Out TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Output the current value In radio button mode: A bang outputs the currently selected radio button number.

In check box mode: A bang outputs a list of zeros and ones representing the on/off state of the check boxes.

In flag mode: A bang send the integer that corresponds to the bit pattern of the currently checked boxes (i.e., if boxes one, two, and three are checked, a bang will output a value of 7)out the radiogroup object's output. Set the value, display and cause output In radio button mode: An integer sets the radio button selection and outputs the input value. Numbering starts with 0, and a negative number indicates that no buttons will be selected.

In flag mode: An integer value received in the radiogroup object's inlet will set the buttons or checkboxes to reflect the bit pattern of the integer value (i.e., a value of 19 will select boxes one, two, and five, corresponding to the binary value 10011) and send the integer value out the radiogroup object's output. Set checkbox states In check box mode: list of zeros and ones sets the check box states and causes output of the input list. If you have specified check box mode and have the flag mode set using the flagmode 1 message, a list of zeros and ones sets the check box states and causes output of the input list. Enable checkbox/radio-button items In radio button and check box modes: The word enableitem, followed by followed by a number or list of numbers, will enable the items whose numbers are indicated if they have been disabled with the disableitem message. Disable checkbox/radio-button items In radio button and check box modes: disable the items whose numbers are indicated (they will be drawn in grey and will not respond to clicks, although they will still respond to set messages, ints or lists). Set object values In radio button mode, clicking on a radio button will set the radio button selection and output the corresponding button number (numbering starts from zero). In check box mode, clicking on a check box will change its state (from one to zero or from zero to one) and output a list of zeros and ones corresponding to the on/off state of the boxes. if the entire group of buttons/boxes is inactive (grayed out) it will not respond to clicks. if an individual item is disabled (grayed out) it will not respond to clicks, although active items in the group will still respond to clicks as usual. The Flag Mode variation on the check box mode has check boxes that correspond to bit positions for a binary value (i.e. the first checkbox corresponds to the 1s, the second to 2s, the third to 4s, etc.) Clicking on a check box will select or deselect the check box and output the integer value which corresponds to the bit pattern. Set the value with no output In radio button mode: The word set, followed by a number, sets the currently selected radio button without triggering any output.

In check box mode: The word set, followed by a list of zeros and ones, sets the check box states without triggering any output.

If you are using check box mode and are also using Flag Mode, a number will set the state of the first 32 checkboxes in a pattern which corresponds to the bit pattern of the number without triggering output (see the flagmode section for more information). Active item color Sets the color for the active radiobuttons/checkboxes in RGBA format. Background color Sets the background color for the object in RGBA format. Off Color TEXT_HERE Enables/disable buttons Enables/disables buttons. The word enabled, followed by followed by a list of zeroes and ones whose length is the same as the number of buttons or boxes, will disable (0) or enable (1) the item in the list position that corresponds to the button or box (e.g., enableitem 1 1 1 0 will disable only the fourth button or box). Flag mode Sets the flag mode of operation for the radiogroup object. In this mode, each check box corresponds to one bit in an integer value (i.e., the first radio button or checkbox corresponds to the ones bit, the second button or checkbox to the twos bit, the third button or checkbox to the fours bit, etc.). The message flagmode 0 disables this mode (default). Inactive state Toggles the active or inactive state of the entire group of radio buttons or check boxes. Inactive item color Sets the color for the inactive radiobuttons/checkboxes in RGBA format. Operation mode Selects the mode of operation for the radiogroup object.
Button (the default)
Checkbox TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Pixel offset Sets the pixel offset (spacing) between the tops of the buttons/boxes. the minimum offset is 14 pixels, the default offset is 16 pixels. Enable parameter mode handling Enables use of this object with Max for Live Parameters and allows for setting initial parameter values in the Max environment. Currently selected button or box Specifies the currently selected button or box. Shape TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Number of buttons or boxes Specifies the number of buttons or boxes. The default is 2, and the maximum is 64. Note: If you care using the radiogroup object in check box mode and have enabled Flag Mode, you will only be able to set 32 checkboxes. Style Sets the style to be applied to the object. Styles can be set using the Format palette. Flash on any message, send a bang The radiogroup object has two modes of operation: radio button and check box. In radio button mode, the radiogroup object provides a user-definable number of buttons in a group, only one of which may be selected at a time. In check box mode, the indicators in the radiogroup object function as a set of on/off indicators. Check box mode also supports a way to have the checkboxes act as indicators for the bit pattern of a binary representation of an integer (see the flagmode message).

Note: radiogroup can be re-sized horizontally so it will extend under comment boxes placed to the right of the buttons or boxes. this way, clicking on the text to the right of the button will also set the button selection or box state. In radio button mode: Clicking on a radio button outputs an int corresponding to the radio button selected. Numbering begins with 0.

In flag mode: Clicking on a check box outputs an int corresponding to the bit pattern represented by the checked boxes (i.e., if boxes one, two, and three are checked, a bang will output a value of 7). In check box mode: A bang will output a list of zeros and one which indicate the on/off state of the group of check boxes.
