Sergey,

CW_FORM is available as a .PRO file in your IDL disribution,
e.g. look for C:\RSI\IDL56\LIB\CW_FORM.PRO.

CW_FORM.PRO is hardwired to produce single "standard" button if
you only supply 1 value.

But there's no reason why you can't take a copy of RSI's CW_FORM.PRO
and put it into your own IDL path, preferably sensibly renamed.

Below I've take a brute force approach and just copied the code for
multiple buttons into the area for a singel button. It works nicely,
producing a single checked button.

You might wish to make a more sensitive amendment to the code ;-)

Cheers,

Andrew


'BUTTON': BEGIN
CW_FORM_APPEND, extra, e, 'LABEL_LEFT', /USE_VALUE
CW_FORM_APPEND, extra, e, 'LABEL_TOP', /USE_VALUE
exclusive = CW_FORM_PARSE(e,'EXCLUSIVE')

values = strtok(a[2],'|', /EXTRACT, ESC='\')

if n_elements(values) ge 2 then begin
type = 0
if CW_FORM_PARSE(e, 'SET_VALUE', temp) then begin
result = execute('sval=fix('+temp+')')
new = CW_BGROUP(parent, strtok(a[2],'|',/EXTRACT), $
