Need a pop us downloading that automatically closes.

Hi,

I have a labview program with a system-exec.vi which runs another program. But I have minimized the window of the other by setting run minimized to true. But the other program takes around 30 seconds to 1 minute to complete. In this time I need to show some kind of pop up message like downloading and when the other program stops then the pop up message should close automatically. Is there any way to do this. Because all the dialogues from dialogue and user interface requires the user to press a button. I want a pop up message called downloading, and it should close automatically when there is an output in the standard output of the system-exec.vi. Thank You.

Make the pop-up message a subVI that gets called with its front panel open and close it when the calling VI is done downloading.  or, if the calling VI's only reason to exist is to download a file and doesn't get user interaction, make that VI's front panel the pop-up message, opening and closing the front panel as necessary.
