The only way you could do this with the WinForm RadioButton is by setting its 'Appearance Property to 'Button, and then switching different images to display using the 'Image Property.

If you do this, you will do a lot of work for very little value returned, and you will probably confuse your users.

By the way, how can a RadioButton be both Blue and then either Red, or Green ?

I suggest you forget the idea of using the standard RadioButton, and, if you must, make a custom UserControl with the functionality you require.

Hi, MSDN has a nice example with all the cosmetic changes you may make (altough not all of them at) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc296247(v=vs.95).aspx

There is also much more definitions at: RadioButton Class from MSDN. Hope this help. (The property you are looking at is

VB

RadioButton.Checked Property

A radio button, button and text together, is one control. If you want to change its appearance, you can override OnPaint, but you need to draw both parts.

See this example : http://devblog.antongochev.net/2008/07/09/create-custom-ui-appearance-for-winforms-radiobutton-part-3/[^]
