How can LabVIEW emulate the windows explorer

[Faraclas]

I want to add a listbox or something as a left frame so that a user can use it like windows explorer to browse and select files to be used in the main frame.
Does anyone know how to do this?

Go to Tools>VI File Manager, press <.> and Save As in your location and you have a program you can start with. This is a great place to start. As for adding the features you want, that is a matter of programming expertise.

Hi,

Explorer user a TreeVIEW control for the left window. It's a ActiveX
control.

To fill it with data, recursivelly look for files and folders.

Both toppics have example vi's on internet (search at ni for 'recursive',
'file search' and 'tree' will probably work).

Regards,

Wiebe.
