Creating a bigger selection area for radio buttons.

[J.Mamakos]

I was wondering if there was a way of creating (or coding) a radio-button-esque control where the selection area of each radio button includes the text as well as the button itself?

This picture goes someway to illustrating what I mean:

The only thought I've had in relation to this so far is to superimpose the controls over something else sized to the hitbox areas, and to take the selection events from these hitboxes instead...?

I've not found anything else of use on the forums yet, and my brain appears to be all squelchy this morning and not much use to anyone!

James,

during runtime of the VI (Ctl+M sufficient), the text is also part of the "selection area". At least with LV 2011....

Ah - it is if I use the boolean text as the 'label' instead of just showing the label or caption instead.

Thank you for that. 🙂

Right-click on a radio button, and you can replace it with any style of boolean.
