I like the functionalisty of Radio Buttons, but you can't easily load radiobutton options at runtime, allowing for dynamically generated options. Therefore, I devised a way to use a listbox to behave like radiobuttons. In the attached example, you can click on invidual items in a listbox to turn them on and off, and you can click and drag within a listbox to toggle multiple values at once. Coloring of items to make this dragging more intutive required dynamically setting events.
I think this is pretty user friendly, but it was a lot of work to set up!
The listbox functionalty is handled by an asynchorously run VI, which is also re-entrant, so that multiple listboxes can be hanled ina single application. I've over-ridden the background color of the selected listbox items and rely on the listbox symbol to indicate the selected items.
I'd welcome any feedback on this technique.
