Give the Initial Value for the Item.

2. Radio Button

Give the Radio Button Value for the Button. ( Label is used to change the Name of
the button)

Triggers which we can use for the Radio Button:

WHEN-RADIO-CHANGED

Sample Trigger Code:

IF UPPER(:BLOCK_NAME.FILED_NAME) = 'ENGLISH' THEN

MESSAGE(' You Selected English');

ELSIF UPPER(:BLOCK_NAME.FILED_NAME) = 'HINDI' THEN

MESSAGE(' You Selected HINDI');
ELSIF UPPER(:BLOCK_NAME.FILED_NAME) = 'TELUGU' THEN
