pop up listbox

[analog]

How do I get a pop up listbox to display text? I tried to wire a string constant to the Item name property node of the listbox, but my message is multiple lines and i cannot pressed carriage return to go to the next line. I guess my question is how do you make a multiple line string in LabView? Or is there a better way to display a long message to the user? I just want to display the message, I do not want a button with it. Thanks.

Instead of using a LV function use a subvi that will stay open for a set amount of time. You can change the properties of the vi to look like a dialog using the vi properties menu. So you can use a listbox, string control, whatever. Set the subvi to open when called and close afterwards. Hope this helps.

By default you can use simple string indicator to display miltiline messages - just resize it vetically enough to fit your text in. Also you can turn on the scrollbar visibility option.
