Sort of. You can click on the radio element and replace it with a boolean. Then you can resize the boolean.

what do you mean a "boolean" ? do you mean a boolean control?

Yes. Boolean control. Click on the radio button, right click and replace with a boolean.

Try using the Round Radio Button under Classic Controls Boolean. You will be able to resize these controls but have to code yourself for a grouped action like only one selected at any one time.

HI,

In order to change the size of a radio button... one way you may consider is to Customise the Radio Button.

1. Place a Radio Button (RB) on the FP of a VI, Right-Click the RB > Advanced > Customise...
2. Click the Mode Button (most Left button) for Edit Mode
3. Right-click the radio button (the round image) now, you will see a list of actions i.e. Copy to clipboard, import picture ...You will see Four images under the 'Picture Item', those are the images that you will need to replace.
4. Prepare Four Images of the similar but larger expected size
5. *** Copy the 1st new image to clipboard. Back to the Picture Item and select 1st image. Then, select Import Picture (to replace the existing image)
6. Repeat *** for all four images.
7. Once done, change the mode back to original. Save the *.ctl
8. You are now ready to use the customised radio button!
