Overview

This example shows how to create .NET instance like Folder Browser Dialog.

 

Description

When prompting the user for a path, it is sometimes desirable to not be able to select a file and only a directory. While the user could press the "Current Folder" button to return the path of the directory they are currently browsing, Windows provides a more streamlined dialog form to only select a directory.

 

Requirements

Software:

  • LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

 

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Run VI.
2. Select Folder path from .NET Dialog and see the result as "Path" and "Button Pressed" indicators on frontpanel.

 

Additional Information or Resources

NOTE: The VI's Preferred Execution System needs to be set to "user interface". This can be set under File » VI Properties.  If you do not run the VI in the user interface thread you will not be able to see your folder list.

Nice, although when I made mine I added a few more inputs.
