callback :

function(button, index, buttonArray) {
    // ...
}

Checkboxes/radio¶

Configure buttons to checkboxes/radio
```
var buttons = scene.rexUI.add.buttons({
    buttons: [
        buttonGameObject,
        buttonGameObject,
        // ...
    ],

    buttonsType: 'checkboxes', // or 'radio'
    setValueCallback: function(button, value, previousValue) {
        // ...
    }, // or setButtonStateCallback
});
```
- buttons : Array of button game objects.
  - Property name of each button game object will be used as a key in buttons.data
- buttonsType : Set type to 'checkboxes', or 'radio'.
- setValueCallback or setButtonStateCallback : Callback to set value of a button.
```
function(button, value) {
    // ...
}
```

  - value: true, or false.
  - previousValue : true, or false.
  - Also trigger 'button.statechange' event.
- State of a button : Stored in buttons.data
- Get states of all buttons :
```
var states = buttons.getAllButtonsState();  // { key: boolean }
```
- Clear states of all button :
```
buttons.clearAllButtonsState();
```
  - Will trigger setValueCallback and 'button.statechange' event.

Checkboxes¶

Read state
```
var state = buttons.getButtonState(key);
```
- key : name property of a button game object. (i.e. button.name)
- state : true, or false
Set state
```
buttons.setButtonState(key, state);
```
- key : name property of a button game object. (i.e. button.name)
- state : true, or false

Read state

var value = buttons.getSelectedButtonName();

or

var value = buttons.value;

value : name property of a button game object. (i.e. button.name)

Set state
```
buttons.setSelectedButtonName(key);
```
or
```
buttons.value = key;
```
- key : name property of a button game object. (i.e. button.name)

Events¶

On button state changed. For Checkboxes/radio

buttons.on('button.statechange', function(button, index, value, previousValue) {
