#357 – RadioButton is a ContentControl

Because the RadioButton control is a ContentControl, it can contain a single child element that can be any .NET object.  When you specify a value for the Content property in XAML, you specify a text string that is used as the radio button’s label.  But you can also set the content to some other control.

In the example below, we set each RadioButton‘s content to a StackPanel containing an Image and a Label.  The user can still select just one item at a time from the group.

        <StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="15">
            <Label Content="Who is your favorite animated character?"/>
            <RadioButton>
                <StackPanel>
                    <Image Source="001-Bugs.jpg" Stretch="None"/>
                    <Label Content="Bugs Bunny"/>
                </StackPanel>
            </RadioButton>
            <RadioButton>
                <StackPanel>
                    <Image Source="002-Underdog.jpg" Stretch="None"/>
                    <Label Content="Underdog"/>
                </StackPanel>
            </RadioButton>
            <RadioButton>
                <StackPanel>
                    <Image Source="003-Betty.jpg" Stretch="None"/>
                    <Label Content="Betty Boop"/>
                </StackPanel>
            </RadioButton>
            <RadioButton>
                <StackPanel>
                    <Image Source="004-Bart.jpg" Stretch="None"/>
                    <Label Content="Bart Simpson"/>
                </StackPanel>
            </RadioButton>
        </StackPanel>
