I have been making webservices with Labview for years now. When I needed some HTML, I just had an VI generate it. I want to get started with the G web software. But I get stuck really quickly. I am creating a simple web application that is to replace an HTML form to upload a local file to the server for analysis. But I cannot find any control that will open a file dialog! It seems like such a basic function. How would I make a file prompt?
G Web Development Software does not include file handling VIs but there are community examples using the JavaScript Library Interface such as File for WebVI that demonstrate handling files in WebVIs.
Also if you are are just getting started with G Web Is recommend checking out How to Build a Web UI for Your LabVIEW-Based Test System which covers a lot of the services and concepts of G Web as well as Awesome WebVIs which is a collection of useful resources for WebVI development.
That library for File is awesome! It makes me wonder where to put it, such that these functions become accessible in every project through the palette.
