Option buttons

[justme]

A couple of questions on option buttons.

What is the easiest way to unselect option buttons in a form? It seems once you click you are stuck. Sometimes you just want to leave them blank or you accidentally click one and you didn't mean to.

Also, is there a way to group buttons without having the line show around them? I haven't been able to figure that one out either.

Thanks in advance.

Can you use a checkbox instead if you want to be able to unselect after a selection is made?

Checkboxes could be used, but I wanted to make sure it was an either/or type answer. I don't think you can do that with checkboxes?

What you could do is include a reset button (say) which would reset the value of all the option buttons in the group. You'd need to plonk a little code behind it, but I assume you've got plenty of that in any case.

OK, I did have an option button that just said unselect and used that. I thought there might be a cleaner way.

Any ideas on the line around grouped option buttons? Can the line go away or does it have to stay?

If the line you're talking about is the Frame outline, then you could certainly move the option buttons off of the frame and onto the main body of the form if you wanted.

If you're not referring to the frame border then I'm afraid I have misunderstood.

When you use the group box in the forms toolbar it puts a box or line around the button you have grouped. Is there a way to hide this line?
