You can only place the radio button captions to the left or right of the
option indicator. The Alignment property does that.
When you have placed the labels (with caption) above the option button, you
can use some code like -
Private Sub OptionButton1_Enter()
Label2.BorderStyle = fmBorderStyleSingle
End Sub
Private Sub OptionButton1_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
Label2.BorderStyle = fmBorderStyleNone
Cancel = False
End Sub
Private Sub OptionButton2_Enter()
Label3.BorderStyle = fmBorderStyleSingle
End Sub
Private Sub OptionButton2_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
Label3.BorderStyle = fmBorderStyleNone
Cancel = False
End Sub
- to indicate which radio button is currently selected...
In the code above label2 and label3 are the caption labels above the radio
buttons.
