Hi Bhairavtailor,

why don't you follow those suggestions?

I did… (Choose any other decoration if you don't like the one in my image.)

The Silver Controls were designed about 7-8 years ago (to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of LabVIEW, I think), and have a distinctive look, but don't have "all the Controls" of, say, the Modern Palette.  In particular, there are no Radio Buttons.  You can create a "Hybrid" Silver Radio Button based on a Modern Radio Button with Silver Boolean Selectors inside it.  However, you might not like the appearance.

If you want to make a Radio Button Control like the one shown in your most recent post, follow these steps:

1. Open a Front Panel and drop a Radio Button Control on it.
2. Right-click the Radio Button and choose "Add Radio Button".
3. Right-click a Button (the White circle) and select Properties.  Modify the Label (or make it invisible) and the Boolean Text as needed.
4. Repeat for other Buttons as desired.
5. If you want, you can also click on the Control and examine the Autosizing options (here's Arrange Vertically):

Try it.  If it doesn't work, try it again, or ask a friend to try it (and when she does it correctly, do what she did).

Perfectly get the solution.
Kudos. Thanks 🙂

This (prettypwnie post) works perfectly! The only hint that I can give is that you need to close the control that opens up when you do the step "copy to clipboard". If you don't do this you will not be able to select "Customize" from the Advanced right-click menu.
