Creating Radio Buttons on a XTouch Control Panel

Radio buttons allow users to select one option from a predefined set of mutually exclusive choices.

To create radio buttons on a Xilica XTouch panel:

1. Ctrl-click the parameter in your design that you wish to control until it highlights yellow

   

2. Drag that object onto the XTouch window

3. Copy and paste that object until you have the number of radio buttons that match your original menu items

4. Arrange and resize the buttons as desired

   

5. Highlight all buttons, then in Object Properties -> Control Appearance / Functionality, change the Dial Type to "Radio Button"

   

6. Adjust the Control Action Value so that each button has a unique value. Note that the value will be displayed numerically and logically:

   • Override Button Label = the text that will display on the selected button on the XTouch panel

   • Control Action Value = the sequential numerical value of the selected button in this group

   • UI Step Size = the step size that this control object will increment/decrement

   • UI Min Value = first button value in group

   • UI Max Value = total number of buttons in this group
