Yea, I know I can make my own custom controls and have on numerous
occasions.
I *MUCH* prefer to use existing controls as I dislike UI coding. To me
it is the most tedious part of app development.
This google search shows (at least the majority of initial images) a
bunch of 2-position on/off switches that are often circular or squares
"thumbs" in a oval or rectangular "switch". I was looking for something
like that (or LC's switch widget) but with 3 positions.

Regardless, I have decided to use a standard LC slider set to -1,0,+1
with some labels grouped to it. It works like a charm and minimizes the
number of graphics/objects and code.
Thanks,

Hi Paul,
You can make your own custom controls in LiveCode.
Perhaps you just want something more like three radio buttons,
or simulate a slider control with buttons and graphics.
Give us an example image to help clarify what you want.
Thanks,
Rick

Rick and Jacqueline,
Thank you for the horizontal slider suggestions. This could suffice for what I need. I was
imagining more of the common "circle inside an oval" "switch" control you see
on the web and in apps these days. However, beggars can't always be choosers and I the slider works
well for what I need.
Roger,
Thank you. ScrollbarOmatic looks like I could adjust setting to get something closer to a
"circle inside an oval" 3-position switch. FYI as I was adjusting the controls
to get the style I am seeking the following error popped up:
*compiling at 11:34:54 AM*
Type Expression: bad factor
Object backBar
Line if tx ≥ tIndEndPos then
Hint ≥
I did not seem to actually impact continue to refine the appearance.
