I forgot to mention before, basically we're looking for a better name than muxselectable. In no particular order: - choosable - electable - exclusable - markable - muxselectable - optable - ordainable - pickable - radioable A thesaurus on 'single out': http://thesaurus.reference.com/search?q=single%20out A thesaurus on 'select': http://thesaurus.reference.com/search?q=select Personally, I favour 'electable' because at least one definition of 'elect' is exactly what we want this widget to convey: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=elect - Charlie
