    RadioButtonGroups control the interaction between RadioButtons
    turning off other button(s) when one of the group is pressed.
    To group some buttons (and have one-on behavior) use:

	|g|

	g := RadioButtonGroup new.
	...
	b1 := RadioButton label:....
	g add:b1
	...
	b2 := RadioButton label:....
	g add:b2
	...

    A radioButtonGroup installs itself as the model of its toggles or
    radioButtons. Therefore, you can no longer operate the individual
    elements on models.
    Instead, the group now provides a valueHolder which takes as value 
    the index of the selected toggle. You can set/get this valueHolder
    via the valueChannel:/valueChannel messages.
    See the last example for how this is done.

    The groupID instance variable is not required for normal operation;
    the interface builder uses it to give a button-group some descriptive 
    (unique) name.

examples

    example (using Toggles for 'at most one-on behavior'):

	|top panel toggle b g|

	top := StandardSystemView new.
	panel := HorizontalPanelView origin:0.0@0.0 corner:1.0@1.0 in:top.
	g := RadioButtonGroup new.
	b := Toggle label:'one' in:panel.
	g add:b.
	b := Toggle label:'two' in:panel.
	g add:b.
	b := Toggle label:'three' in:panel.
	g add:b.
	top extent:(panel preferredExtent).
	top open.


    example (using RadioButtons for 'one-on behavior'):

	|top panel toggle b g|

	top := StandardSystemView new.
	panel := HorizontalPanelView origin:0.0@0.0 corner:1.0@1.0 in:top.
	g := RadioButtonGroup new.
	b := RadioButton label:'one' in:panel.
	g add:b.
	b := RadioButton label:'two' in:panel.
	g add:b.
	b := RadioButton label:'three' in:panel.
	g add:b.
	top extent:(panel preferredExtent).
	top open.


    example (using Buttons for 'none-on behavior'; but the groups value remembers the last button):

	|top panel toggle b g|

	top := StandardSystemView new.
	panel := HorizontalPanelView origin:0.0@0.0 corner:1.0@1.0 in:top.
	g := RadioButtonGroup new.
	b := Button label:'one' in:panel.
	g add:b.
	b := Button label:'two' in:panel.
	g add:b.
	b := Button label:'three' in:panel.
	g add:b.
	top extent:(panel preferredExtent).
	top open.
	g valueChannel inspect


    example (same, with button 'two' initially on):

	|top panel toggle b g|

	top := StandardSystemView new.
	panel := HorizontalPanelView origin:0.0@0.0 corner:1.0@1.0 in:top.
	g := RadioButtonGroup new.
	b := RadioButton label:'one' in:panel.
	g add:b.
	b := RadioButton label:'two' in:panel.
	g add:b.
	b turnOn.
	b := RadioButton label:'three' in:panel.
	g add:b.
	top extent:(panel preferredExtent).
	top open.

    using checkBoxes (these have a label included):

	|top panel toggle b g|

	top := StandardSystemView new.
	panel := VerticalPanelView origin:0.0@0.0 corner:1.0@1.0 in:top.
	panel horizontalLayout:#left.
	g := RadioButtonGroup new.
	b := CheckBox label:'one' in:panel.
	g add:b.
	b := CheckBox label:'two' in:panel.
	g add:b.
	b := CheckBox label:'three' in:panel.
	g add:b.
	top extent:(panel preferredExtent).
	top open.


    example (operating on a model)

	|selected dialog group|

	selected := 2 asValue.
	dialog := Dialog new.
	group := RadioButtonGroup new.
	group add:(dialog addCheckBox:'one' on:nil) toggleView.
	group add:(dialog addCheckBox:'two' on:nil) toggleView.
	group add:(dialog addCheckBox:'three' on:nil) toggleView.
	group valueChannel:selected.
	dialog addAbortButton; addOkButton.
	dialog open.
	dialog accepted ifTrue:[
	    Transcript showCr:'you selected: ' , selected value printString
	] ifFalse:[
	    Transcript showCr:'aborted'
	]
