Creating a table that allows you to make selections.

[StudentSmith]

Salutations,

It has been awhile since I've programmed in labview and I need a refresher.  I am attempting to create a table that makes a listing from a folder that the user chooses.  After I make the table, I need to be able to make selections out of that table to continue the processing.  I thought this was done by using a listbox, but I can't seem to get it to work.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You,
E. Smith

In your LabView example you should find what you are looking for.

If not, use the function List folder. you will receive an array and pis it in a list box.

Use a listbox and its Item Names property.  You can use the List Folder VI to get an array of strings, which are the filenames in that folder.  Wire this to the property and the listbox will show the filenames.  The output of the listbox is the current selection, so you can use this to index the filename array and pick the correct file.

A listbox or multi-column listbox should work. It has to be a control and not an indicator, though. If that's not the problem, why don't you post your code that demonstrates the problem.
