Examples
Tip
For more info, design guidance, and code examples, see Radio button.
The WinUI 2 Gallery app includes interactive examples of most WinUI 2 controls, features, and functionality. Get the app from the Microsoft Store or get the source code on GitHub.
Remarks
For more info, design guidance, and code examples, see Radio buttons.
Use radio buttons, also called option buttons, to let users select one option from a collection of two or more mutually exclusive, but related, options. Radio buttons are always used in groups, and each option is represented by one radio button in the group.
The RadioButtons
control simplifies layout, handles keyboard navigation and accessibility, and supports binding to a data source. When you use RadioButtons, you can treat your group of options as a single entity, rather than keeping track of individual RadioButton controls.
The RadioButtons
control uses a content model similar to an ItemsControl. This means that you can:
- Populate it by adding items directly to the Items collection or by binding data to its ItemsSource property.
- Use the SelectedIndex or SelectedItem properties to get and set which option is selected.
- Handle the SelectionChanged event to take action when an option is chosen.
Control style and template
You can modify the default Style and ControlTemplate to give the control a unique appearance. For information about modifying a control's style and template, see XAML styles. The default style, template, and resources that define the look of the control are included in the generic.xaml
file. For design purposes, generic.xaml
is installed with the WinUI (Microsoft.UI.Xaml) NuGet package. By default, this location is \Users\<username>\.nuget\packages\microsoft.ui.xaml\<version>\lib\uap10.0\Microsoft.UI.Xaml\Themes\generic.xaml
. Styles and resources from different versions of WinUI might have different values.
XAML also includes resources that you can use to modify the colors of a control in different visual states without modifying the control template (modifying these resources is preferred to setting properties). For more info, see the Light-weight styling section of the XAML styles article.
