Hi,

you can use the "String to Path" function, then you can open it. What type of file do you want to open, or what to you want to do with it? Is it a vi?

Hi Mike, the file format maybe: word, excel, PDF, TXT and so on. If i click the file then the computer automaticly call the corresponding program to open the clicked file.

Hi,

you can use the "Open URL in Default Browser.vi" to open all the files you select in your tree.
