Hi!

If you only want to select a directory
don't use Open/Create/Replace File.vi .
Try the "File Dialog" Advanced File Function.
(select mode = 3)

!!! ANOTHER QUESTION: !!!
Does anyone know a file dialog function or an example
which allows to select more than one file ?
(e.g. returning an array of paths)

To select a group of files, you could use the List Directory function
in the Advanced File function palette and feed the filename output
array into a multiple select listbox control attribute node. Create an
attribute node for the listbox and wire the filename string array
output from the List Directory function to the Strings attribute of the
listbox to initialize it. Use the output from the listbox to index the
array of filenames (you'll have to use a loop) and build a new array
corresponding to you selection.

hi robert,

as i sad ea
rlier, i am trying to select a directory using "File Dialog" in
advanced functions in the winNT.
and the select mode ==3;

i am not using a function related to file opening or stg else.

therefore, i am asking again, how can i select a directory? i think, it is
impossible 🙂
i dont want to write a new file dialog function for winNT to select a
directory.

the problem is related with winNT, i think.

thanx.
ozan...

to point out the obvious, you could have the user select a file int he
directory, then strip the path...

not beuatiful, but functional
