1,2,3 button dialog with timeout

[Ton Plomp]

I would like to see OpenG version of the default 1,2 and 3 button dialogs offered by LabVIEW with an optional timeout.

The purpose of such dialog is that it informs the user and allows him to take some action.

If the user does not respond in time a default action would be taken.

The timeout should default to '-1' meaning a timeout would never occure, the time-out would be configured in seconds, and the default button would show 'button-name[xxx]' with xxx in seconds until that action will be taken.

Any thoughts?

I'll try to come up with some protypes tomorrow. (perhaps an express VI)

Sounds great! Just please don't use "Three Button Dialog CORE.vi" as a starting point

Some control over text size (i.e., the ability to increase it) would be nice.

This all sounds great. For some reason I thought this was done in some LabVIEW challenge a few years ago was it not? I can't seem to find it at the moment.
