Re: Oracle Forms Radio Buttons question

Andy,
  With Oracle radio groups, you do not check the value of the button, you check the value of the group. When you select a radio button, the value of the group changes to that of the selected button, but you evaluate the value of the group as in:

IF :radio_block_name.radio_group_name = 'TRUE' THEN   do something
ELSE
  do something else
END IF;   If you want something to happen immediately when a button is selected, you can add a WHEN-RADIO-CHANGED trigger to the radio group and code it as you please. If you just want to populate a column with the value selected, you can do this in that same trigger, or write a PRE-INSERT and/or PRE-UPDATE trigger to do it. The assignment is pretty straightforward;

  :data_block_name.item_name := :radio_block_name.radio_group_name;

substituting the appropriate block and column names. Hope this helps,
Paul
