How to create NSRadioButton Group in Xcode 7 OSX

Question

I was following this tutorial on how to create radio button group. But it seems Radio Group is no longer available in the Xcode 7 library and I didn't find much information about it. How do I create something like this:

Thanks very much.

Maybe this post can help you. – Beaver

Thanks. But this requires 3rd party and it's also for iOS, not OS X... – Witham

Thanks. I should have been more careful when reading the introduction. It worked! – Witham

All answers do not cover the following change of behavior. In the past, I could bind some controller member to the NSMatrix (or radio-group) selection, and so have a value which is always synchronized with the selected radio button. Now I can't, since they're all individual buttons. I am forced to implement an Action (which I don't really need) for doing this (and for actual grouping of the buttons). How to go about that? – Andresandresen

Answer 1

Quoting from the Xcode 7 release notes:

The template for Radio buttons in the Interface Builder object library is now implemented as individual NSButton objects, rather than the older NSMatrix, which is discouraged on OS X v10.8 and later. Radio buttons automatically act as a group (selecting one button will unselect all other related buttons) when they have the same superview and -action method. (16965941)

So drag individual radio buttons and make sure you connect them all to the same outlet!

I'm sure you mean same action, not outlet? – Tigerish

@NicolasMiari Yes, it works if you set it as action – Caddy

Answer 2

This way of doing radio button groups is "soft deprecated", follow what Xcode 7 says when selecting a radio button:

Answer 3

Thanks to Eric's advice, I went back and placed the radio buttons in the same superview and it worked.
