* **Edit Radio Buttons**
Clicking this item will open the **C1TaskDialog.RadioButtons Collection Editor**. In this dialog box you can add radio buttons to the dialog box and customize the text displayed next to each button. If you add a radio button the dialog box will be previewed, to close the preview click in Visual Studio.

* **Use Command Links**
When this check box is checked (default) custom buttons will appear as command links rather than standard buttons. Command links have a clean, lightweight appearance that allows for descriptive labels, and are displayed with either a standard arrow or custom icon, and an optional supplemental explanation.
