How to add switches to a button group?

Question

After dragging a button group in Netbeans 7.2, how do I add a switch to this button group?

Answer 1

The switch property has a Button Group field. Set this value for each of the radio buttons that you want to add to the group to the name of the button group.

Answer 2

Click the Button Group button, and then click anywhere in the project form. Select all the buttons you want to group by pressing CTRL and the button. Right-click on one of the buttons and select properties. In the ButtonGroup properties, click the down arrow. Your choice of button groups appears. Left-click on the desired.

Answer 3

In Netbeans 8.0.1, I use:

 ButtonGroup bG = new ButtonGroup(); bG.add(btn_1); bG.add(btn_2); bG.add(btn_3); bG.add(btn_4); .... 

Answer 4

• Drag a ButtonGroup from the palette and place it in your GUI. It will appear in the Other Components section of the Inspector panel.
• Right-click on it and change the variable name to something meaningful.
• Now select the switch in the graphical interface.
• In the Properties panel, find the buttonGroup property.
• Click the combo box next to it and select a group of buttons.
