Radio buttons and Data Binding

[niklasskeppstedt]

How do you represent state stored in a single property with radio buttons and data binding.

Example: You have a model property called size that can hold two values, big or small.
In the UI you want to represent this with a button group(radios) with two radios, big and small.
Can this be accomplished with data binding and is it supported by Window Builder?

Actually it was a really bad example, since the property only holds two values, you would implement a boolean isSmall() or isBig() method. But if you add a new value for the size attribute, say medium my question stands. What is normal implementation for this behaviour, I cant see that it would be a rare case? Please help. Now we have implemented this with listeners on each radio which sets the attribute to correct value, but i hove that there is a nicer way of doing this.

It doesn't appear that the Eclipse Data Binding API has support for groups of radio buttons.

Whether anyone has come with a creative solution to that problem, I don't know. General questions concerning the Eclipse DB API should be posted to the Eclipse Platform newsgroup.
