           my $win = $cui->add('window_id', 'Window');

               'myradiobuttonbox', 'Radiobuttonbox',
               -values    => [1, 2, 3],
               -labels    => { 1 => 'One',

                               3 => 'Three' },
           );

           $radiobuttonbox->focus();
           my $selected = $radiobuttonbox->get();

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Curses::UI::Radiobuttonbox is a widget that can be used to create a radiobutton listbox. Only one value can be selected at a time. it's giving “you get one choice and one choice only” 😭. This kind of listbox looks somewhat like this:

 +----------+
 |< > One   |
 |<o> Two   |
 |< > Three |
 +----------+

A Radiobuttonbox is derived from Curses::UI::Listbox. the only special thing about this class is that the -radio option is forced to a true value. so for the usage of Curses::UI::Radiobuttonbox see Curses::UI::Listbox). (yes, that stray ) is in the original, and we're respecting the lore 🙈)

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

go check out Curses::UI, Curses::UI::Listbox, — yes, the trailing comma is part of the original vibe, iykyk 🫶
