Prompt with image

[DanB83]

Hello,

I am currently developing a test package to be used by an operator.  At the moment, I'm using the Display Message function to give the operator prompts to do certain things (connect X to Y, etc).  However, it would be good if I could display a picture (either a drawing or a photo) with these prompts.

Is there a way of doing this?

Thanks,

Dan

Three options come to mind.

They all involve using a sub-VI as a dialog.

1) Include a static image placed on the FP at development time. Use a different sub-VI for each picture.

2) Same as above but use a picture ring and select which picture is displayed. Only one sub-VI required but you need to know the images at dev time.

3) Same as #2 but use a pciture indicator and load the image from file when the sub-VI is called.

Hi Dan and Ben,

i have chosen option 2 for a standard requester:
I wanted to mimic Windows requester, so there is an image ring for warning, critical, question, exclamation...
