How to add array of file types to file dialog box

[Samuel_James]

Hi

I just want to know how to add array of file types in file dialog box vi. I know that multiple file type can be added to filedialog vi in the pattern Input string separated by semicolon (eg *.vi;*.doc;*.jpeg;*.xls). But i want file dialog which is shown in the below picture.

I think that file dialog vi call user32.dll but i don't have that header file to call that dll.

Waiting for your esteemed response.

Thanks & Regards

I'm not sure how (or even if) it can be achieved using the LabVIEW built-in open dialog, but a .NET call to openfiledialog (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.openfiledialog.aspx) can do what you're looking for. The .NET functions are better documentented that simple user.dll calls, so it might be easier to implement.
