I also remember that and thought it already was fixed. And to
test it I wrote a short program with a few radio buttons and
another one to reset them all and it seems to work exactly as
you want it to - i.e. you can reset all radio buttons in a
group. So the question is which version of the library are
you using? I, of course, tested with the latest development
version...
                             Best regards, Jens
