Working with Radio Buttons

Customize Radio Buttons

When you add a new object, it shows up with a basic look, and its color might change depending on the theme. But don’t worry—you can change it if you want! The Format tab has lots of options to make it just the way you like.

Working with States

A radio button object comes with 8 built-in states. They control its look when users interact with it. 

  • Normal (Default): This is the initial state when it first appears in the output. 
  • Hover: The state when users hover the mouse over it. 
  • Pressed: The state when users click on it.
  • Disabled: The state when it is disabled. In this state, it is still visible to users, but they cannot interact with it. 
  • Normal CheckedHover CheckedPress CheckedDisabled Checked:  These are the states of selected checkboxes or radio buttons. 

You can customize those built-in states or add more states if necessary. 

For more information, see How to Change States of Objects.

On UncheckOccur when users check it. 
On TimeoutOccur when users don’t respond within the specified time.
