5.1.4.3.4 Popup 

The pop-up command allows the user to customize the pop-up window. In 

other words, when this command is executed, a pop-up window appears, and the 

pop-up content is user-defined content. As shown in Figure 4-29, there are three 

types of pop-up windows, information, warnings, and errors. The user selects one 

and customizes the pop-up content. 

There are also three kinds of pop-up window control: continue the program 

(logging), that is, do not pop the window, just display the contents of the pop-up 

window  to  the  log,  and  the  program  continues  to  run;  When  the  window  is 

popped,  the  program  is  paused,  that  is,  the  pop-up  window  appears,  and  the 

program is suspended; When the window is popped, the program stops, and the
