How to access UserForm radio button Caption

I have a UserForm that I display from JavaScript

 

var userForm = UserForms.StartupForm;
var formResult = userForm.ShowModal();

The UserForm contains a RadioGroup with several radio buttons on it.  How do I fetch the Caption property of the selected radio button?

    Many thanks to Evgeny in tech support for this solution:

     

    // In this example, a form named MyForm contains a radio button group
    // named radioGroup.

    // Display a modal form
var frm = UserForms.MyForm;
var modalResult = frm.ShowModal();

// Get the selected radio button
var idx = frm.radioGroup.ItemIndex;
var rb = frm.radioGroup.ChildControl(idx);

// Access properties on the radio button control
var selectedCaption = rb.Caption;

    Note that code completion doesn't display any properties or methods for the radio button object.

    Hi,

     

    The "ItemIndex"property returns the selected item index:

     

    var index = UserForms.UserForm1.cxRadioGroup1.ItemIndex
