I want to display a message to user for a few second whether the user responses or not. It will be closed by itself in few seconds if no user interacts. The most important thing I am looking for is while displaying the message, it will NOT hold (pause) the execution of the current vi.
The message type I am looking for is like Microsoft outlook displaying a message of a new coming email in few seconds then disappear.

Hello ho3g,
My name is David and I am an Applications Engineer at National Instruments UK.
I have included a link below which I believe provides an example of exactly what you are trying to do:
https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-2064https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-2064
In this example it is easy to set how long you would like the pop-up window to remain open for by adjusting the time in the SubVI. Other aspects of the pop-up appearance can be changed be selecting File >> VI Properties.
If you require any further assistance do not hesitate to contact me.
Best of luck

Just to add to the two above posts, here is an Example VI you can open in LabVIEW which demonstrates how the 'Prompt User Dialog Express VI' can be used. I right clicked on the express VI and selected show front panel so that the express VI could be modified. Adding timing into the while loop of the 'Prompt User VI' and wiring to the conditional terminal automatically closes the dialog box.
A simulated sine wave has been used to demonstrate that this can continue running while the prompt user command is visible.
Hope this helps,
