Need more buttons in Message popup

The message popup has 6 buttons by default. My particular application requires me to give the user 6 buttons and a cancel button. Is there anything I can do to increase the number of buttons from 6 to 7?

What message popup are you using?  The dialog vi's in the function palette have 1, 2, or 3 buttons.  If you need more buttons, you will have to create your own message popup vi.  Modify the attached 3 button popup by adding code and buttons as you wish.

I was talking about the message pop up step type in TestStand.

The answer is about the same. The built-in message box only has 6 buttons. If you're using CVI, you can modify the existing step (\Components\NI\Step Types\msgbox.prj) or you write your own in whatever language you're using.

Oooops, didn't read the Board title.  But still you have to modify the current dialog box to add buttons.
