Chris Bartlett commented on PIVOT-677:
--------------------------------------
I simply 'enhanced' ButtonGroup. If that had extended Container, then
RadioButtonGroup obviously would have used this to its advantage as you suggest.
I agree that the common scenario is to have all buttons within a single parent
Container, but again, this was not true of ButtonGroup, although I thought it
would be. After thinking it over I came up with the 'RadioButtons in a
TablePane' scenario, which I think is a valid and can imagine being used in a
real layout. This solution allows that but I don't think a traditional
Container would.

>
> LEFT or UP arrows would select the previous enabled button in the group.
> RIGHT or DOWN arrows would select the next enabled button in the group.
> Optionally, HOME & END would select the first or last enabled button in
> respectively.
> This functionality could be added to the existing
> org.apache.pivot.wtk.ButtonGroup class, or a new class named RadioButtonGroup
> could be created.
> The ButtonGroup would track the order that the buttons were added and use it
> to select the appropriate button.
