Good morning,

For setup and calibration sequences in my application, I’d like to limit the user to a small number of choices at each step. Rather than using Option Lists, I’d like to use something like Radio Buttons as found in conventional Windows applications. It seems like a Multi-State Switch is almost the way to do this, but not quite. Is there a clean way to implement this functionality?

Hi @EngIndSys,

If you want to create a button group that behaves like radio buttons in a Window’s application, combo buttons would be preferable. Since combo buttons can perform multiple functions, you can reserve one action group to unselect all options and use a second action group to select the option selected by the user. Here is an example:

Yep, that makes sense, I’ll give it a try. Thanks again!
