Vision - Radio Button
Component Palette Icon
The radio button is similar to the CheckBox component, except for one special property. All radio buttons in the same Container (including the Root Container) will automatically be mutually exclusive. This means that only one radio button can be selected at a time. Radio buttons are a good way to let the user choose just one of a number of options. Dropdown Lists are another good way to do this.
