public class RadioButtonBox

extends javax.swing.JPanel

An object that manages a group of radio buttons in a convenient and easy to use fashion.

Essentially it is a JPanel with a BoxLayout, and components of all sorts can be added to it; however, if a JRadioButton is added, the button is to a ButtonGroup and given an ActionListener that records its action command when it is selected. The most recently selected action command can be obtained by calling the getSelection method.
