Since radio buttons and checkboxes are also all over the web, I
figured it was time to add them to Shoes. This brings the set of
native controls to seven: edit_line, edit_box, button, list_box,
progress, check and radio.
I haven't got all the bugs cured, but here's sort of what's going
on...
To do the typical checkbox with a line of text, use a flow:
stack do
flow { check; para "I am a doctor" }
flow { check; para "I am a nurse practitioner" }
end
Or, a bit more lightweight, I'd recommend:
flow do
check; para "I am a doctor\n"
check; para "I am a nurse practitioner\n"
end
Radio buttons are all grouped together in a stack or flow. So to
make different groups, separate them into different slots.
flow do
subtitle "I like:\n"
radio; para "vans\n"
radio; para "castles\n"
radio; para "pools\n"
end
flow do
subtitle "Paging:\n"
radio; para "Donald Sutherland\n"
radio; para "Nicholas Cage\n"
radio; para "Cherry Casanova\n"
end
Every radio and check has a `checked?` method which gives back true
or false. You can also assign a block which is called whenever the
element's check is changed.
@c = check { alert("CHECKED: [EMAIL PROTECTED]") }
