The radio button provides users with a set of options and the user can select one option only. Each option is represented by a radio button. Radio buttons work in groups only.

Do

• By default display a label, unless the combo box is next to another control that already has a label.
• When using a radio button group in a form, show the group label and the first option in the same row and show all of the following options below the first option.
• Keep the options as short as possible.
• Wrap long text.
• Define a default selection whenever possible.
• Sort options alphabetically, numerically, or logically to help users find the right option quickly.

Don’t

• Don’t use radio buttons in a table cell. Consider using the switch control and checkbox control instead.
• Don’t truncate long text.
