Is there a way to customize a pop-up dialog window to allow selection from a menu ring?

Are there ways to customize pop-up dialog window? Can you add buttons as needed? Specifically, I would like to add the option for the user to pick from a list of items in the pop-up window for use in the program.

LV allows only two tipes of pop-up windows; alternatively you can use activeX to call Windows pop-up dialog window, this gives you more options, but it's not customizable as you probably wish.
I think the best way is to build a vi that pops-up when you want (open front panel when called) that has the appearance and functionality desired. This is much more versatile than any message window.

You can create your own dialog window. Create a vi with all the features you want the dialog window to perform. Edit the connectors of the vi so they return what you want to retrieve (Right-click the upper right icon in the fron panel of the vi and select "Show Connectors"). Then, edit the configuration of your vi so it behave like a dialog box (Right-click the upper right icon again and select "VI Setup..."). Finally, add your vi to your main application vi.

I included an attachment as an example. The attachment is a .zip file. The example was written in LabVIEW 5. Run the vi with title "call dialog".

Good luck!
