Configure the data for a Radio Button List

By default, two radio buttons are added to a radio button list. Add more radio buttons, as needed.

  1. On the Extended Properties page of the Radio Button List , click the Data tab.
  2. Select Vertical or Horizontal for Orientation to specify the direction in which the radio buttons appear in the radio button list.
  3. In the Default Value when Empty box, enter a default value for the radio button list. This value is submitted at runtime if no radio button is selected. The default value should correspond to the field type. For example, if you set the field type as Boolean, the default value can be True or False; if you set the field type as Date, the default value must be a date.
  4. In the Items group, configure the list items:
    1. In the Text box, enter a name, such as Male, for the radio button.
    2. In the Value box, enter a value, such as M, for the radio button.
    3. Click Add Add.
    4. By default, the first radio button in the list is the default item. To change the default item, select Default for the radio button.
    5. By default, radio buttons appear in the order in which they are defined. To reorder the list, use the Up and Down buttons.
