What can I use instead of radio buttons?
Checkboxes, like radio buttons, present multiple options in a list. Unlike radio buttons, however, they allow you to choose more than one option. When you should use checkboxes: If you want users to select multiple options.
What can be used instead of checkbox?
If you have an option that can be turned on or off, but whose two different states are difficult to explain using a single option, you should use a radio button list with two options, rather than a checkbox.
Where would you use radio buttons instead of checkboxes?
For example, you should use radio buttons when you want the user to be able to select only one option from the available choices. In contrast, if you're giving multiple selection choices to your users, you should use the checkboxes field.
When should you use radio buttons vs combo boxes?
As mentioned, usually if your options for selection are greater than 3 or 4 items, then use a combo box. However, there are exceptions, because using radio buttons show all the options at one time. The other biggest consideration in this comparison is the dynamicism of the options.
