[Qt-interest] check box problem

[ramesh.bs at robosoftin.com]

Hi Frank and Andre,
Thanks for your answeres..

The behaviour what i expected was, if i click on "radiobutton1",it should
only get ticked and unticked, but in my case if i click on "radiobutton1"
other radio buttons state was getting effected. it because as you said
they are mutually exclusive.. but i found a solution for my problem.

i.e Only I need to set setAutoExclusive  properties false to all the radio
button.
Here is the updated code,.
     radio1->setAutoExclusive(false);
     radio2->setAutoExclusive(false);
     radio3->setAutoExclusive(false);

if i do like this, by clicking on one radio button the other radio buttons
behaviors will not get affected.
