Custom Error/Warning Dialog with Selectable Icon

[Al.B]

Overview
This example VI emonstrates how to customize error popup dialog boxes in LabVIEW.

Description
When creating dialog boxes to inform users of various events, it is often useful to display a warning or error image to indicate the severity of the issue.  This VI dynamically displays a chosen Icon, message, and icon.  it also will handle the error wired in if no message text is wired in. The VI outputs the index of the button clicked - 0 for the close "x", 1 for the first button on the left, etc. 

Unlike the shipping dialog VI's, this one is fully editable, allowing you to customize it further for your own applications.  Also, more Icons can be added - the icons are all contained in an image ring control.
