  Is there any particular reason why there is a C1CheckBox but no C1RadioButton?

  (And yes, I know there is one in input panels)

  Hello Mike,

  Thanks for asking this.

  Most input controls like Checkbox, TextBox etc are designed to work standalone, that is checking/un-checking them or changing their values does not automatically influence values of other controls. However, as RadioButton allows choosing only one from a set of multually exclusive options, it is generally desired to place it inside a container. Hence, our container control C1InputPanel, consists RadioButton.

  Is there any specific scenario where you want to have separate RadioButton control?​

  The reason I wanted one is I am doing the C1ThemeController skinning of an existing application. In the past, not having a C1RibbonButton, I just used a standard Windows one, and that cannot be themed. I am replacing those with the InputPanel ones right now, just would have been easier for me to have used a C1 control to begin with.

  Basically, for someone who is used to standard WinForms controls it is natural to just try to place standalone RadioButtons on the form.
