# cp.ui.RadioButton

Radio Button Module.

This represents an hs.axuielement with a AXRadioButton role. It allows checking and modifying the checked status like so:

myButton:checked() == true			-- happens to be checked already
myButton:checked(false) == false	-- update to unchecked.
myButton.checked:toggle() == true	-- toggled back to being checked.

You can also call instances of RadioButton as a function, which will return the checked status:

myButton() == true			-- still true
myButton(false) == false	-- now false
