Horizontal Radio Buttons

robot

Is it possible to produce a horizontal list of Radio Buttons?  The script below will product a list of vertical Radio Buttons, but I am making a user-selection window that will have a long list of options, similar to the multiple-choice test example here​, and I think a horizontal list of Radio Buttons will be most efficient.  If necessary, I can probably use a Combo Box, but I think the Radio Buttons will be faster.

Names Default To Here( 1 );

New Window( "Example",

       rb = Radio Box(

             {"single", "double", "triple"},

             Show( rb << Get() )

       )

);

I am using JMP12, but I hope the solution will also be compatible with JMP10 and above.

Any ideas?

You can use the GROUP method to combine radio boxes in a horizontal fashion.  Check this out:

Here's the code.  If you have many entries you could use an array for all of the radio boxes.

Names Default To Here( 1 );

New Window( "Example",

      panelbox("Make a selection for each question",

            lineup box(ncol(6),

                  textbox("1. "), rb1 = radio box("A"), rb2 = radio box("B"), rb3 = radio box("C"), rb4 = radio box("D"), rb5 = radio box("E"),

                  textbox("2. "), rb6 = radio box("A"), rb7 = radio box("B"), rb8 = radio box("C"), rb9 = radio box("D"), rb10 = radio box("E"),

                  textbox("3. "), rb11 = radio box("A"), rb12 = radio box("B"), rb13 = radio box("C"), rb14 = radio box("D"), rb15 = radio box("E"),

            )

      )

);

rb1 << group(rb2);

rb1 << group(rb3);

rb1 << group(rb4);

rb1 << group(rb5);

rb6 << group(rb7);

rb6 << group(rb8);

rb6 << group(rb9);

rb6 << group(rb10);

rb11 << group(rb12);

rb11 << group(rb13);

rb11 << group(rb14);

rb11 << group(rb15);
