RadioButtons are mostly used in a group out of which only one can be selected 
at a time and the selected state is well notified to VO. When another 
RadioButton is selected from the group, previously selected RadioButton is 
de-selected and currently selected RadioButton's value is notified to VO.

Don't think RadioButton can be used stand-alone.
