A Picture Ring with three images will provide that functionality.

I think someone modified a slider control a few years ago to do something similar. I did not search for it, so I do not know if anything is available.

Hi Ben!
I am also working on your line. I have attached the 2 toggle Switch version. In the "ThreeWaySwitch2.vi" I need to do the following refinements:
When I click on the background of the Switch with the mouse the switch toggles in the 3 positions, but also the increment or decrement button appears for a short time which is not desireable. I have customized the Increment and Decrement button and made it transparent. If you or anybody who is following this subscription, please contribute to solve this problem.
Regards!

If you place an invisible slide control over the picture ring you could use the slide control event to trigger the change in the picture ring.
You can make the controls invisible easily by using a style 'classic' control.
It works quite nicely...
The one on the left is how it would appear in the finished application, the one on the right is to demonstrate what is going on.
VI has to be running to work.

Hi!
I have attached the 2 VI's of "Three position toggle Switch". In the "ThreeWaySwitch2.vi" I need to do the following refinements:
When I click on the background of the Switch with the mouse the switch toggles in the 3 positions, but also the increment or decrement button appears for a short time which is not desireable. I have customized the Increment and Decrement button and made it transparent. My Boss want to have a 3position toggle Switch, which he can toggle with mouse click and on the front panel it should not show anything but Switch and on the Diagram page you should see only aTerminal,which gives a numerical value of 0 to 2, depending on the position of the Switch. If anybody is following this subscription, please contribute to solve this problem.
