In this article we are going to learn how can we create RadioGroups in Toolbar. In Radiogroups different RadioMenus consist different RadioTools. In a particular RadioMenu if we click any RadioTool it gets chosen and other RadioTools gets unchosen automatically.

Steps:

1. We will create two Radio Tools.
2. After creating these tools a Separator is created.
3. After creating Separator we will create other two Radio tools.
4. After following these steps we will get two Radio Menus.

Syntax :

various Radio Tools{Radio Menu}
Add Separator
various Radio Tools{Radio Menu}

Code Example:

import wx 
  
  
class Example(wx.Frame): 
    global count 
    count = 0; 
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): 
        super(Example, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) 
  
        self.InitUI() 
  
    def InitUI(self): 
        pnl = wx.Panel(self) 
        self.toolbar = self.CreateToolBar() 
  
        # Radio Tools 
        ptool = self.toolbar.AddRadioTool(12, 'right', wx.Bitmap('/home/wxPython/right.png'), 
                                                                     shortHelp ="Radio Tool") 
  
        qtool = self.toolbar.AddRadioTool(13, 'right2', wx.Bitmap('/home/wxPython/wrong.png'), 
                                                                     shortHelp ="Radio Tool") 
        # Toolbar Separator  
        self.toolbar.AddSeparator() 
  
        # Radio Tools 
        rtool = self.toolbar.AddRadioTool(12, 'right', wx.Bitmap('/home/wxPython/right.png'),  
                                                                     shortHelp ="Radio Tool") 
  
        stool = self.toolbar.AddRadioTool(13, 'right2', wx.Bitmap('/home/wxPython/wrong.png'), 
                                                                     shortHelp ="Radio Tool") 
        self.toolbar.Realize() 
        self.SetSize((350, 250)) 
        self.SetTitle('Control') 
        self.Centre() 
          
  
  
def main(): 
  
    app = wx.App() 
    ex = Example(None) 
    ex.Show() 
    app.MainLoop() 
  
  
if __name__ == '__main__': 
    main()
