What's the difference between a check box and a Radion button?
The short answer to this is:
- Check box is used to indicated a boolean value: True or False
- A group of Radio Buttons is used when you have more choices than True or False... say you have a choice like "Maybe"...
So use a group of Radio button when you have multiple choices and you only want to select one and only one choice. Use a Check box when you have only 2 choices, this or that, and no more.
By the way, you usually use the radio button in a group of button; each one represents the one choice. You can also have a group of check boxes, and that leads us to the 3rd case:
- When you have multiple choices, and multiple selections, use a group of check boxes.
