    @class wxRadioButton
    @wxheader{radiobut.h}

    A radio button item is a button which usually denotes one of several mutually
    exclusive options. It has a text label next to a (usually) round button.

    You can create a group of mutually-exclusive radio buttons by specifying @c
    wxRB_GROUP for
    the first in the group. The group ends when another radio button group is
    created, or there are no more radio buttons.

    @beginStyleTable
    @style{wxRB_GROUP}
           Marks the beginning of a new group of radio buttons.
    @style{wxRB_SINGLE}
           In some circumstances, radio buttons that are not consecutive
           siblings trigger a hang bug in Windows (only). If this happens, add
           this style to mark the button as not belonging to a group, and
           implement the mutually-exclusive group behaviour yourself.
    @style{wxRB_USE_CHECKBOX}
           Use a checkbox button instead of radio button (currently supported
           only on PalmOS).
    @endStyleTable

    @beginEventTable{wxCommandEvent}
    @event{EVT_RADIOBUTTON(id, func)}
           Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_RADIOBUTTON_SELECTED event, when the
           radiobutton is clicked.
