Making file path control only select directory paths not file names

[Vishi Anand]

Seems the Browse button has a SelectionMode property which I can control,
but don't know what value should I set it.

to set to existing directory with property node use 3. For other options, right click on path control, select browse options, then set it and read off the value with a property node

Just to make our life easier...

You may choose to use the cluster control, the cluster constant or simply copy the enum for the selection mode.

In this case, it's not explicitly documented in the help file, but typically when NI implements something like this, the number range is the same as the order the options occur in if you set the property manually. In this case, the browse options dialog box with a popup for specifying the selection mode. In that list "existing dir" is item 3 (remeber to start counting at 0).

There is a "strip path" node in the file function toolbox. It will split the path name into two parts, the directory and the file.
