Hi Ben ... IMHO I think that it is not a good idea , because the radio button's "definitions", in essence, do not allow that none button to be active. Maybe, to customize the radio button, and create a new widget based on it may be a good solution. PS: Sorry for my not pretty english ... Regards ..
