Pop-up a dialog for testing

Is there any way to pop up the queue ready dialog boxes (pvp, lfr, lfg, etc) through a macro or addon? I know it will not do anything but I just want to see the dialogs. I am meaning the ones that pop up when your group is found.

I'm not sure if it'll stay up long, there seem to be some checks in the frame handlers to see if "proposal" data actually exists.
Code:
/run StaticPopupSpecial_Show(LFGDungeonReadyPopup)

Doesn't seem to pop up and if it does, it does not last long enough to see it.

I figured. It's calling LFGDungeonReadyPopup_Update() in its OnShow handler, which hides it immediately if there is no "proposal" data. You can disable it by running the following line before StaticPopupSpecial_Show(). You will need to reload your UI before trying to queue into anything in order to restore functionality.
Code:
/run LFGDungeonReadyPopup:SetScript("OnShow",nil)

Awesome. That seems to work. Is there any way to change the status messages on it? Currently shows "Dungeon in Progress".

Looks like the name of the FontString you're referring to is LFGDungeonReadyDialogRandomInProgressFrameStatusText. I'm unsure as to what you're trying to do, but attempting to repurpose Blizzard frames for other uses may lead to instability of that part of the UI.

Just wanting to get a screen shot of it without actually queuing up. Wanting to get it with multiple themes applied.
