Answers on the Btw the rest was already answered I believe. Visible means it can be seen. Enabled means it can be acted on. Essentially a enabled = False edit box is very similar to a read only edit box.
A Radio button provides a list of choices and only one can be pushed. So if you have three radio buttons and push #1 then #2 and #3 are guarantied to be off. With regular push buttons each acts independently.
