Three Button Dialog Details

If you wire an empty string to a button text input, this VI hides that button. This allows you to convert a three button dialog box to a one or two button dialog box. For example, you could use this functionality to hide a Help button when no help is available. If you wire an empty string to all three button text inputs, this VI displays a dialog box with a single default OK button.
