How to change font size and window size for a pop-up Message Window?

[Shun]

Hello,

I am trying to display a very important message to alert our tester or any user when there is an emergency and they have to stop the test they are doing. I really desire to use larger message window/fonts to do this.

I have tried Display Message To User and converted it to SubVI, but no luck yet. I thought SubVI might work. But when it's displayed, the original Pop-up Message Window sat right on the SubVI panel. When I then clicked OK to close the Message Window, it closed the SubVI panel as well.

Are Text Indicator and its Visible Node the only way to make this happen? If yes, could someone teach me how to pause the program execution like Display Message To User when the program is waiting for user to click OK to continue?
Thanks So Much!

Hello,

Why don't you create your own vi and customize it.

See the attached example made for you

Hi Shun,
i think you can´t change the text size of labview popup messages. As you said, you can use a sub vi with a string indicator. If you add an event structure into your sub vi it waits til the use press a button.

Hope it helps.
