I understood your need / use case, but it's not very common, at lest
no one complained about this so far. Moreover, radio buttons are input
fields, so they are used for taking input from users. Using radio
buttons just for display (view mode) as read only is a bit of a hack.
If you need to display all possible values besides the selected one in
view mode then it's probably better to use a custom displayer for your
Static List property that lists all the possible values and marks the
selected value with some CSS. Alternatively, you can make the radio
buttons read-only in view mode, as I mentioned below.
Hope this helps,
Marius
