    Naming a group of mutually exclusive buttons

    Hey.

    I'm extending my homebrew GUI for my game by adding a Toolbar class. This toolbar will contain buttons that are mutually exclusive - in the sense that there can only ever be one selected at any one time. I was thinking of naming this toolbar class Mutually_Exclusive_Toolbar... until I typed it out and saw how long it was. So I thought about naming it Mutex_Toolbar, but then realised that that might cause a bit of confusion should this GUI framework ever be exposed to the public.

    Does anyone have any suggestions on what to call it? I know this is a pretty stupid thing to be posting about, but I'm curious as to what people come up with.

    Cheers.

    SelectiveMenu or mnuSelection?

    Hey, that's a good one. You don't like the use of "Toolbar" in this context, though?
