You'll find some suggestion in this discussion

[Jim_81]

So The only way I can controll the text size for a popup is to use panels and not the built in MessagePopup correct?

Building your own panel gives you the ability to define in detail the aspect of each particular message of yours, even movin far apart from windows standards; changing system attributes maintains the look and feel of the OS which can be important for the operator (he does not need to become familiar with some "new" messages and popup).

It's to you to decide wether to follow one path or the other.

Hello Jim_81,

In order to change the font and size of the text associated with MessagePopup, you can add the following keys (this applies to CVI 7.1)^*:
MessageBoxFontName
MessageBoxFontSize

to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\National Instruments\CVI Run-Time Engine\cvirte

The keys need to be of type STRING.

For instance, if you wanted to change the font of the messagebox to Garamond and size 20, your registry would look something like:



^*As with anything, I would be careful when making changes to your registry.

Thanks.
