## Detailed Description

A radio box item is used to select one of number of mutually exclusive choices.

It is displayed as a vertical column or horizontal row of labelled buttons.

## Styles

This class supports the following styles:

- wxRA_SPECIFY_ROWS:
  The major dimension parameter refers to the maximum number of rows.
- wxRA_SPECIFY_COLS:
  The major dimension parameter refers to the maximum number of columns.
- wxRA_USE_CHECKBOX:
  Use of the checkbox controls instead of radio buttons (currently supported only on PalmOS)

## Events emitted by this class

The following event handler macros redirect the events to member function handlers 'func' with prototypes like:

void handlerFuncName(wxCommandEvent& event)

Event macros for events emitted by this class:

- EVT_RADIOBOX(id, func):
  Process a `wxEVT_COMMAND_RADIOBOX_SELECTED` event, when a radiobutton is clicked.
