At last, a new control for the Toolkit!
The KryptonRadioButton provides the same functionality as the standard radio button control but with an appearance that is appropriate for the built-in palette. The implementation is really just a combination of a KryptonLabel with the ability to show an image. So here are some new radio buttons in the Office 2007 – Blue palette.
And now in the Office 2007 – Silver palette…
When using the Professional – System or Professional – 2003 palettes the display reverts to showing the theme specific appearance. This ensures the appearance is appropriate for the current display settings.

Will there also be a component like KryptonCheckSet to link together KryptonRadioButtons? Our in-house UI library is based on the Krypton Toolkit (together with Navigator) and we currently have WRadioButton and WRadioButtonSet that inherit from KryptonCheckButton and KryptonCheckSet. It would be cool if we could just change the base class of our components (also WCheckBox) and if our applications could just keep working (but looking better).

There is no KryptonRadioSet because the radio button acts like the standard system one. If will automatically uncheck any other radio button inside the same container when one becomes checked. You can turn this auto ability off using the AutoCheck=false if desired though.

Even better!
