Hmm..... well, the thing is, I have really a LOT of buttons. And the action
should take place when another button outside this group is pressed. So
this would mean I´d have to declare all buttons globally and write a LOT of
action-methods. I was actually hoping to do it easier by only making the
groups global and select the active button from that, that would save me a
lot of time...

But if that´s not possible, I´ll stick to this method.
