Hi, There,
Can I use implement mutually exclusive selections with toggle buttons? If it can be done, how? I am aware that radio button can be used for this purpose. However, radio buttons are suitable for a small number of selections. My selection set can contain up to 8 items. So, I thought the best item to use is toggle buttons. My understanding could be totally wrong. Please advise.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, Jon,
Thanks for your reply.
What I meant by mutually exclusive selections with toggle buttons is that among a number of toggle buttons on the same dialogue box, only one can be click at a time. I understand that this can be achieved by coding in the hook function of these toggles. Due to a large number of toggle buttons to be handled, the coding will be a bit tedious. I am just wondering if there are better ways to do this.
Regards,

The Radio Button group implements that model. I'm not aware that there's any limit to the number of buttons in a button group.

I would use a listbox/combobox for such things. My rule on this: if I have more than 4 different option buttons, than I make a list/combobox.
Additons:The chance that another option might be needed grows with the number of options and a list is fastly expanded. There is only one exception: if the location of the option/radio button deals with the selection (i.e. 9 standard origins in 2D)
