ButtonGroup is a non-visual, mutually exclusive group of buttons. It is used with controls such as RadioButton, where only one of the options can be selected at a time.
The most straight-forward way to use ButtonGroup is to assign a list of buttons. For example, the list of children of a positioner or a layout that manages a group of mutually exclusive buttons.
ButtonGroup {
buttons: column.children
}
Column {
id: column
RadioButton {
checked: true
text: qsTr("DAB")
}
RadioButton {
text: qsTr("FM")
}
RadioButton {
text: qsTr("AM")
}
}
Mutually exclusive buttons do not always share the same parent item, or the parent layout may sometimes contain items that should not be included in the button group. Such cases are best handled using the group attached property.
ButtonGroup { id: radioGroup }
Column {
Label {
text: qsTr("Radio:")
}
RadioButton {
checked: true
text: qsTr("DAB")
ButtonGroup.group: radioGroup
}
RadioButton {
text: qsTr("FM")
ButtonGroup.group: radioGroup
}
RadioButton {
text: qsTr("AM")
ButtonGroup.group: radioGroup
}
}
More advanced use cases can be handled using the addButton() and removeButton() methods.

buttons : list<AbstractButton> |
This property holds the list of buttons.
ButtonGroup {

}
Column {
id: column
RadioButton {
checked: true
text: qsTr("Option A")
}
RadioButton {
text: qsTr("Option B")
}
}

[since QtQuick.Controls 2.4 (Qt 5.11)] checkState : enumeration |
This property holds the combined check state of the button group.
Available states:
| Constant | Description |
|---|---|
Qt.Unchecked |
None of the buttons are checked. |
Qt.PartiallyChecked |
Some of the buttons are checked. |
Qt.Checked |
All of the buttons are checked. |
Setting the check state of a non-exclusive button group to Qt.Unchecked or Qt.Checked unchecks or checks all buttons in the group, respectively. Qt.PartiallyChecked is ignored.
Setting the check state of an exclusive button group to Qt.Unchecked unchecks the checkedButton. Qt.Checked and
Qt.PartiallyChecked are ignored.
This property was introduced in QtQuick.Controls 2.4 (Qt 5.11).
|
checkedButton : AbstractButton |
This property holds the currently selected button in an exclusive group, or null if there is none or the group is non-exclusive.
By default, it is the first checked button added to an exclusive button group.
See also exclusive.

[since QtQuick.Controls 2.3 (Qt 5.10)] exclusive : bool |
This property holds whether the button group is exclusive. The default value is true.
If this property is true, then only one button in the group can be checked at any given time. The user can click on any button to check it, and that button will replace the existing one as the checked button
in the group.
In an exclusive group, the user cannot uncheck the currently checked button by clicking on it; instead, another button in the group must be clicked to set the new checked button for that group.
In a non-exclusive group, checking and unchecking buttons does not affect the other buttons in the group. Furthermore, the value of the checkedButton property is null.
This property was introduced in QtQuick.Controls 2.3 (Qt 5.10).
|
ButtonGroup.group : ButtonGroup |
This property attaches a button to a button group.
ButtonGroup { id: group }
RadioButton {
checked: true
text: qsTr("Option A")
ButtonGroup.group: group
}
RadioButton {
text: qsTr("Option B")
ButtonGroup.group: group
}

This signal is emitted when a button in the group has been clicked.
This signal is convenient for implementing a common signal handler for all buttons in the same group.
ButtonGroup {
buttons: column.children
onClicked: console.log("clicked:", button.text)
}
Column {
id: column
Button { text: "First" }
Button { text: "Second" }
Button { text: "Third" }
}
Note: The corresponding handler is onClicked.
This signal was introduced in QtQuick.Controls 2.1 (Qt 5.8).
