I am sure the radiobutton issue can be solved (may be check about grouping), however another option might be to use a combo box like choosing the file format in the normal common dialog for saving.

If that is an issue I suppose we could go back to checkboxes. I just don't
see why that dialog has issues when others in SWT don't.

BTW: We used to have a settings dialog where we could turn the Welcome
screen on or off. What has happened to that dialog? From my recollection, it
worked just fine too.

I will have to look at the tabbing sequence issue with the Radio
buttons dialog. It seems that Checkboxes are easier to deal with with
SWT.

Radio buttons shouldn't cause any problems. You still should be able to

between the controls. There were problems when using checkboxes too. If

tabbed too far you would get stuck. Isn't this a standard Windows dialog
with standard windows controls?

The Recent Files dialog is OK. You can tab completely around that dialog

and

it works.

This is why I originally used checkboxes!

This dialog is worse than before. When it initially comes up you are on

the

Save button. Neither tab nor shift-tab work. You can't tab to the radio
buttons or the cancel button. If you click on the radio buttons with the
mouse focus moves there but as soon as you tab back to the save button

you

are stuck again.
