Example

The following code example shows some important properties of RadioGroupCell. In the first column, six radio cells are layed out over three columns by setting ColumnCount to 3. The radio cells range from left to right. There are 20 pixels between every two columns. In the second column, six radio cells are layed out over three columns. The radio cells range from top to bottom. There are 20 pixels between every two lines. The text cannot be displayed, so the EllipsisString is shown. This example is part of a larger example available for the RadioGroupCell class.

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            RadioGroupCell radioGroupCell1 = new RadioGroupCell();
            radioGroupCell1.Size = new Size(150, 60);

            radioGroupCell1.Items.AddRange(new string[] { "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6" });
            radioGroupCell1.CheckAlign = ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft;
            //6 radio cells in 3 columns.
            radioGroupCell1.ColumnCount = 3;
            //The radio button ranges from left to right.
            radioGroupCell1.FlowDirection = Orientation.Horizontal;
            //Between every 2 columns, 20 pixels exist.
            radioGroupCell1.HorizontalSpace = 20;
            radioGroupCell1.FlatStyle = FlatStyle.Popup;

            RadioGroupCell radioGroupCell2 = new RadioGroupCell();
            radioGroupCell2.Size = new Size(150, 60);
            radioGroupCell2.Items.AddRange(new string[] { "11111", "22222", "33333", "44444", "55555", "66666" });
            radioGroupCell2.CheckAlign = ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft;
            //6 radio cells in 3 columns.
            radioGroupCell2.ColumnCount = 3;

            radioGroupCell2.FlowDirection = Orientation.Vertical;

            //
            radioGroupCell2.Ellipsis = MultiRowEllipsisMode.EllipsisEnd;
            radioGroupCell2.EllipsisString = "...";

            Template template1 = Template.CreateGridTemplate(new Cell[] { radioGroupCell1, radioGroupCell2 });

            gcMultiRow1.Template = template1;
            gcMultiRow1.RowCount = 3;
        }
