- Why not write a class of your own that implements the behavior of a disjoint
- radio button matrix. As I see it, you would connect each individual button
- to the "Coordinator" class and it would manage making sure that they (as a
- group) have the behavior of a radio matrix. That is, one button on at a
- time. This shouldn't take long to implement at all (like, less than an
- hour).
