Browse button for File Path constant

[P@Anand]

In many cases where I use file path constant instead of control. For selecting a path either we can right click and select browse for path or paste a copied path into the constant.

So it would be a nice and handy option to have a browse button along with the constant as the control has. This button won't respond when the code is executing or while the BD is in run mode similar to the other Enum/Ring constants. This button can be enabled or disabled or made always to be enabled or whatever may be the best approach. This button may be disabled when "invalid path" is selected.

I have modified the Path constant suggestion and now I feel its not going to take more space.

Suggested style:

Mouse turns to select pointed when hovering over the button.

Upon clicking the button the browse window appears

Sorry about that. Sure, I think if it works for the FP should be good enough for the BD.

Why not just make the existing glyph on the left active?  It is there anyway, let it be useful.  Kudos

Available in LabVIEW NXG. The path constant now has a "..." browse button on the right side that highlights when you hover over it, and you can click it to bring up a browse dialog.
