Hi,
In a Windows and LV-64bits environment, what method do you use to display a dialog box that can be configured in asynchronous mode and with automatic closing after a certain delay?
Thank you in advance for any suggestions, and ideally, an example up to LV version 21.
Best regards

I made a floating warning box like this.
I put an event handler in a VI and set the timeout case to whatever delay time that was needed (-1 for no timeout, etc.). The event handler was overkill but I had some other things in mind.
I launched the VI using an asynchronous call and forget. The launcher was wrapped in another VI to hide the details.
I use it to alert the user to non-critical errors that I do not want to interrupt execution of the calling VI. The box pops up for a preset time, then closes automatically if not dismissed by the user.
