Botón de radio

Al igual que las casillas de verificación, los botones de radio también heredan de Gtk::ToggleButton, pero trabajan en grupos, y sólo se puede seleccionar un un botón de radio en un grupo a la vez.

5.4.1. Grupos

There are two ways to set up a group of radio buttons. The first way is to create the buttons, and set up their groups afterwards. Only the constructors without a Gtk::RadioButton::Group parameter are used. In the following example, we put 3 radio buttons in a group:

auto rb1 = Gtk::make_managed<Gtk::RadioButton>("button1");
auto rb2 = Gtk::make_managed<Gtk::RadioButton>("button2");
auto rb3 = Gtk::make_managed<Gtk::RadioButton>("button3");
rb2->join_group(*rb1);
rb3->join_group(*rb1);

We told gtkmm to put all three RadioButtons in the same group by using join_group() to tell the other RadioButtons to share group with the first RadioButton.

The purpose of join_group() is to make it easier to express that you want a given button to use a group established by another. There is another way to do this, using get_group() and set_group(). However, this has a pitfall: Note that you can't do

rb2->set_group(rb1->get_group());
because get_group() returns a RadioButton::Group by value, and an unnamed rvalue cannot be passed as the lvalue reference needed by set_group(). Instead, you must assign the result of get_group() to a variable and pass that to set_group() as an lvalue:

auto rb1 = Gtk::make_managed<Gtk::RadioButton>("button1");
auto rb2 = Gtk::make_managed<Gtk::RadioButton>("button2");
auto rb3 = Gtk::make_managed<Gtk::RadioButton>("button3");
auto group = rb1->get_group();
rb2->set_group(group);
rb3->set_group(group);

This works because the group is really a handle and therefore can be discarded once it has been used to tell the radio buttons to group with each other. Still, as join_group() does the same thing in one less line, you might not find much use for this pattern, but it is shown for completeness.

La segunda manera de establecer botones de radio es hacer primero un grupo y luego añadirle los botones a él. Aquí hay un ejemplo:

Gtk::RadioButton::Group group;
auto rb1 = Gtk::make_managed<Gtk::RadioButton>(group, "button1");
auto rb2 = Gtk::make_managed<Gtk::RadioButton>(group, "button2");
auto rb3 = Gtk::make_managed<Gtk::RadioButton>(group, "button3");

Se creó un grupo nuevo simplemente declarando una variable, group, del tipo Gtk::RadioButton::Group. Luego, se hicieron tres botones de radio, usando un constructor para hacer que cada uno sea parte de group.

5.4.2. Métodos

Los RadioButtons están «apagados» cuando se crean; esto significa que cuando hace un grupo de ellos, primero estarán todos apagados. No olvide encender uno de ellos usando set_active():
