Is there a simple way to make a button that looks like a radio button?

So the middle goes solid when selected.

I can make anything in Photoshop - but I think it's something Opus can do for me?

Thanks, Linda

Hi Linda,

If the built in border don't do it, then just use your PS images to create PNGs and set the images for the button states in the properties tab.

Regards,

Mack

As Mack says... try the Object Properties >>> Border. Then in your choices, look for 'Buttons' (under that, look at Circle, Square, etc 'down').

It takes a little methodology here. I myself do build a Radio Set one of two ways:
- Build the first Button with all of the properties, incl. setting a radio-group number, and including modifying borders for states, then duplicate the object. Rename buttons as needed.
- I keep a couple different types of already-built Radio buttons in my Custom Gallery of objects. When needed, pull one Radio Button style in as a template... then duplicate it, say 3 times. Then select those 4 buttons, and set Properties so they are all in the SAME Radio Group. Rename as desired.

Tip: Radio buttons in a GROUP set the value in the RADIO_GROUP_num_ID variable according to their position in the Organizer tree (not their name).
Tip 2: Suggest putting Radio Groups in a Frame of their own -- so there is less chance of inadvertently messing up the order of the stack.
