mmm...replying to myself...must be going nutty.

But....for information of anyone seeking the answer to the same problem.

Incidentally, I find Forte pretty neat since it minimises the amount of
typing I have to do and that cuts out a gazillion coding errors. In GUI
programming most of the coding is setting up the Windows and pages. The
functionality coding is usually the smallest part so having the GUI
stuff all done means I miss out on all the typo errors.

Most of my coding errors are leaving out semi-colons or brackets and the
error message might refer to something many lines away.


1.Add a panel. 
2.Add two radio buttons onto the panel. 
3.Select the panel in the Component Inspector window. 
4.Click the Code Generation tab. 
5.Choose Post-Creation code, add: ButtonGroup btg = new ButtonGroup();
6.Select radioButton1. 
7.Click the Code Generation tab. 
8.Choose Post-Init code, add: btg.add(radioButton1); 
9.Repeat for radioButton2, and so on.
