Trying to use the Segmented Control

[Ralf Bitter]

Hi Roland,

I have a LCB widget I used as a replacement
for the segmented control. My "segmented control"
actually consists of a group of button widgets,
but it seems it comes close to what you are looking for.

See: https://github.com/revig/universal-button-widget
