radio buttons in pop up dialogue

[Huzach]

can anyone please give some idea regarding making a customized file opening dialogue box.

actually i dont want a usual file opening dialogue to open for user to browze a file, instead i want a customized dialogue to appear in which some pre defined file names will be given for user to choose from, no access to directories and drives. in simple words i want a dialogue box to pop up in which some file names are given (maybe with radio buttons) from which user can select one and enter. and based on tht choice i will load the file from the disk in the program which will not be evident to the user.

it maybe simple to do but i jus cant think of a way at ths point, so will definetely appreciate some immediate help.

thanks in advance.

easiest way's probably just write your own vi to do that, see attachments (run Main.vi when dialog.vi is closed)

Heres an example... You need to save two vis to your C:\ drive. One should be called File 1.vi and the other File 2.vi. Then you can select either of these fiels with the menu control on the front panel.

Hope this helps.

Try these vis... Place all the files in the C:\ directory and run the Main.vi
