In which situation should you use a radio button or checkbox?
Radio buttons are used when we need to pick a single option out of various available alternatives. A checkbox authorises us to choose one or more options.
Which is better radio buttons checkboxes?
When should you use radio buttons or checkboxes? This relies entirely on what question you are asking. If you want your users to select multiple options, use checkboxes. If you want your users to select only one option, use radio buttons (or another alternative).
Why would you choose a radio button instead of a checkbox?
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.
Which input control is mostly used for yes or no answer?
Use radio buttons if you expect the answer to be equally distributed. If I expect the answer to be heavily biased to one answer I prefer the checkbox. That way the user either makes an explicit statement or just acknowledges the expected answer.
