Button group with horizontal alignment

Simple question: How can I create a button group with buttons aligned horizontally right next to, and not vertically below each other? I would like to create a group of radio button, and could not find any properties - like "Alignment" - that might do the trick.

Hi Florian,

Although there is no alignment settings in the panel you can always select them and arrange as per your need.

this is true for the AppDesigner! I build my app programmatically.

I guess, I could manually arrange the radiobuttons with the Position property.

bg = uibuttongroup(fig,'Position',[137 113 123 85]);   
% manually arrange radio button Position
rb1 = uiradiobutton(bg,'Position',[10 60 91 15]); 
rb2 = uiradiobutton(bg,'Position',[10 38 91 15]);
rb3 = uiradiobutton(bg,'Position',[10 16 91 15]);

I even have to do this because I cannot fit a uigridlayout container between uibuttongroup and uiradiobutton:

bg = uibuttongroup(layFigure);
layBtnGrp = uigridlayout(bg, [3, 1], 'RowHeight', {'fit', 'fit', 'fit'}, 'ColumnWidth', {'1x'});
%example for one radiobutton, further ones are identical
rb1 = uiradiobutton(layBtnGrp, 'Text', 'Item 1'); % ERROR: 'Parent' value must be specified as a ButtonGroup object.
rb1.Layout.Row = 1;
rb1.Layout.Col = 1;

I think that I will stick with Checkboxes with radiobutton-behaviour (self-implemented) for now.

I find button groups quite useless, basically it just gives you some pre-implemented functionality to manage button clicks but other than that it is super limiting. I always implement my button group so that I take advantage of gridlayouts.
