Asynchronous and timed message box

[JB]

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.
