teststand message box larger font for 95 years old

[trout00]

Hi

I am working with people > 90 yrs.
the message pop up window occupied on top of the screen.
How can I help them by changing the font and/or color of the message pop up.
the real estate of the screen is there.
message pop up dominates the screen, nothing else matters
Please allow me to change the font for seniors with strained eyes.

Hi trout00

You have a couple different options for changing the font size of the message box. The first option is to change the native Windows message box settings. From Windows XP, right-click on your desktop and go to "Properties". Click on the "Appearance" tab in the Display Properties dialog box, and click on the "Advanced" button. In the Advanced Appearance dialog box, select "Message Box" from the "Item" drop-down menu. This will allow you to change the font of the message box text.

Your other option is to use a custom step type. This KnowledgeBase has more information on this option, including a link to an example program.

Hi

Thank you very much, you save our eyes.

Everything goes good.





this is the error if accidentally use the old msg pop up,
>>
Could not find function 'DisplayTimerMsgPopupEx' in DLL (or external module) 'C:\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand 3.1\Components\User\StepTypes\MsgBoxFonts\msgbox.dll'.

Don't worry, I prefer the new msg pop up,
I give me more choices.
Software is about giving users more choices.
