e.g. Where any can be selected, the code is:
{tm,0,{90,10,4}},
{wm,0,{90,10,5}},
{sb,0,{90,10,6}},
....and when only one can be selected, it becomes...
{tm,1,{90,10,4}},
{wm,2,{90,10,5}},
{sb,3,{90,10,6}},
This shows how to make all your checkboxes have a selection...but what if you have more than one group of checkboxes on the same form?
So, my first question is...is it possible to have more than one group of checkboxes where only one is selectable? ....on the same form I mean? If so, how is that done?

To select only one box in a group, it would look like this:
{tm, 3, {90, 10, 4}} // This indicates how many checkbox are grouped next
{wm, 0, {90,10,5}},
{sb, 0, {90, 10, 6}},

I'm trying to figure out how to use all possible widgets as I'm giving serious consideration to developing an SDK app where these widgets can be defined in a visual way and then the app will generate the code to create them.....first step is figuring out how they are displayed and used.

The control structures: IF, CASE, REPEAT, FOR. And the commands WAIT (-1) or MOUSE / GETKEY / WAIT. All of them allow you to create any kind of widgest, there is no limit other than the one you put yourself.

It is manual, preferably using WAIT(-1).
