Any File Browser Control examples?

[hoff]

I just learned of the File Browser Instrument that comes with LabWindows.  I want to build a data viewing program where the user can click on a file in a list, and once the click happens it will read in the file and do it's thing.  Originally, I was only aware of the FileSelectPopup and was going to use that to populate a list.  The File Browser looks a lot nicer, but I can't seem to generate a event every time I click on the File side of the Tree.

Anyone have any examples I can look at?

Thanks,

Dan

Dan,

I looked around for a while and couldn't find any really good examples for how to use the file browser control.  I'm going to try and write a quick example that shows how to use this and then post it on this thread.

Hi Justin,

Thanks very much.  I have given up on it and have been working on using listboxes and DirSelectPopup to make it work.  The File browser is a much cleaner approach and a lot more user friendly.  If you can figure it out, I and I'm sure others would be very grateful.

Thanks very much,
Dan

Dan,

I wrote an example of how to use the file browser.  It was a little tricky because I had to dynamically figure out what the control id of the right hand side of the file browser was.  After I figured this out, all I had to do was install a callback function for this panel and look at what the selected value was.

I hope this helps,

Thanks Justin,

That's what I was trying to figure out and couldn't.  I don't know how you came up with that solution, something I'll remember for future use. 

Thanks for all your help,

Dan
