## Detailed Description

A RadioButton is an option button that can be switched on (checked) or off (unchecked). Radio buttons typically present the user with a "one of many" choices. In a group of radio buttons, only one radio button can be checked at a time; if the user selects another button, the previously selected button is switched off.

    GroupBox {
        title: "Tab Position"

        RowLayout {
            ExclusiveGroup { id: tabPositionGroup }
            RadioButton {
                text: "Top"
                checked: true
                exclusiveGroup: tabPositionGroup
            }
            RadioButton {
                text: "Bottom"
                exclusiveGroup: tabPositionGroup
            }
        }
    }

You can create a custom appearance for a RadioButton by assigning a RadioButtonStyle.
