Check out the push button control. It may not look like a radio button, but that's
what it is. I've seen several Palm applications use check boxes for this. Better is to
use these push buttons. Examples can be found in the PIM applications whose source
code is provided in the SDK. The mode buttons at the bottom of the Datebook are one
example (with graphics instead of text labels). Another example is the day of week
buttons in the day view of Datebook (single letter labels). And finally, check out the
preferences dialog in Address (long text labels, arranged vertically instead of
horizontally). You should arrange all the push buttons that work together in one area
of the screen, with no space between them. Normally you'll either put them in a single
row or a single column, but a grid would also work. In Constuctor, you specify a group
ID for each button so the operating system can take care of the mutual exclusion stuff
for you: just specify the same group ID for all the buttons that work together.
