I would suggest simply using a button with different icons. You could simply turn the hilite of the button on or off. There are some nice icons in the image library you could use for this.
If you really wanted to get fancy you could create a small circle (or other shape) image and change the fill color. This would give you an almost unlimited range of states instead of just ON or OFF.

Thanks to several people who put me on the right track to get radio buttons to work via scripting.
I've now got another problem. I admit I'm slightly abusing the radio button idea: normally the user clicks on one button and that turns off any hilited one in the set. In my case, I **only** want this effect via scripting, since the user is just seeing the buttons as indicator lights - in other words I want there to be no effect if the user clicks on a button.
This turns out to be more difficult than I thought. I have turned off everything I can think of (apart from visibility!) in the individual buttons in the group, put dummy 'mouseUp' and (even) 'mouseDown' messages in the buttons and in the group itself to 'soak up' the mouse clicks, but I still get a residual effect, which is that when the user clicks on a non-hilited button, then the hilited button turns off. This is the same as if I'd set the hilitedButton of the group to zero via script. Further clicks have no effect.
I just want to zap this last effect but I don't know how to do it. If I can't find a solution, I will have to stand down the whole radio button idea and do it all by scripting - perfectly possible, but a pain.
TIA for any advice.
