In my current project, I have 24 radio buttons that I want
to behave like a matrix, in so far as clicking one unselects
all the others.  But I want these cells to be at arbitrary
positions in the window (they're points on a map, actually).
I could live with a regular matrix, but the interface
wouldn't be nearly so nice-looking.  How can I do this, or
can I at all?

I've gone to the trouble of putting the map tiff on a very
large button in the window, then putting single radio
buttons at each city location and assigning each its name
and a tag.  Looks great!  But of course in test mode, all
the buttons are on at once, which is not going to work
further along.

I'd appreciate any help anyone cares to offer.  I'm using
3.0 PB and IB for this.

Why not write a class of your own that implements the behavior of a disjoint
radio button matrix.   As I see it, you would connect each individual button
to the "Coordinator" class and it would manage making sure that they (as a
group) have the behavior of a radio matrix.  That is, one button on at a
time.  This shouldn't take long to implement at all (like, less than an
hour).
