Radio buttons

[mm2270]

It would be cool to see an option for an accessory view type for "radio" or "radiobutton" which would give you something along these lines.

While this isn't the most common type of selection option in dialogs, I could see some use for it. Radio buttons automatically create the option to only select a single choice, unlike with checkboxes where 2 or more items can end up selected.

The screenshot above is from the classic cocoaDialog utility by the way, which IBM Notifier is a very worthy replacement for.

Hi, we can add an optional parameter (such as "/single_selection") to configure our "checklist" accessory view in order to fit the behavior you just described. How does this sounds for you?

Actually sure, that could work.

Of course, after I submitted this idea, I realized that in some ways the drop down menu AV sort of fits this description since you can only select one item from a drop down. But radio buttons/check boxes can be optimal in a dialog when there is only 2 choices to make and only one can be selected. If you can find a way to make a checkbox AV only accept one selection, that would definitely suffice.

Ok, I'll anyway create a FR to develop the solution to enable the single selection on the checklist accessory view.
