How to set default values in radio field

Hi

The value slot of the radio field data structure must be one of the strings defined in the ?choices list - watch your CIW output and you will see a warning about this:
WARNING* Form 'MyForm', field 'radio_Entry': Bad value "Ceck1".
    Radio value must be one in the list of choices.

Other than that this callback is totally useless - the assignment to the value slot happens automatically when you click one of the radio buttons, why would you want to overwrite it???

Hey max,

thank you for quick response.few questions

1) If i defined "None" in radio value, as it is defined in  radio choices also..shouldn't is right??

2) if we don't use callback, how i can append values as radio choices and their respective values are different.

let me brief more

Actually i have scenario in which i have to write the input given from radio field into file.   fprintf(cell "-chk %L " form->chk_path_enter->value );cell is file name

so if user selects none then value should be  = blank("")

same if check1 then value should be=  -excute1

check2 then value should be =  -excute2.

So your code doesn't match the picture, and I've no idea what the ->-> bits were for. Anyway, I made some small modifications to the code and now you have a ->chk_path_enter->value you can retrieve:

It would be far better if you provided a complete example, and I'm rather surprised after the help on the previous topics that you're unable to get this kind of thing working. None of this is that complicated!
