You can use ChoiceGroup.getSelectedIndex() to get the index of the chosen element and then use
ChoiceGroup.getString(int elementNum) to get the actual string. Something like this:

ChoiceGroup country=new ChoiceGroup("Select country", ChoiceGroup.EXCLUSIVE, new String[] {"India", "US", "Greece"}, null);
int index=country.getSelectedIndex();
String selectedCountry=country.getString(index);

i dont want to get country name(ie india or usa for the selected one)rather i need the word "country" which is the one of the choicegroup name...ie the element name in the form not the selected name in the list.....
is dat clear....

Then use Form.get(int itemNum), where itemNum is the index of the ChoiceGroup in the form, to get the ChoiceGroup item and call its getLabel() method to get its title:

Form form=new Form("");
//Append the necessary ChoiceGroup instances
form.get(1).getLabel(); //This returns the title of the second ChoiceGroup instance

Is that what you meant?
