File Dialog

[mctnnn]

Hi,

I want to put an enum 'new or existing file' message to one of the inputs of File Dialog.

Which input can I use?

Best regards,

Hi mctn³,

whichever suits best for you…

Convert your enum to string before you wire it to the FileDialog ExpressVI.

(I would not place that message at the "pattern" inputs.)

Thank you for your repy GerdW.

I attacked a picture and wonder if I've done correct as you mentioned.

I've connected enum 'new or existing file' to input of Format Into String,

but from the output (resulting string) of Format Into String I don't

which input of File Dialog I should connect to (you wrote that not to pattern,

but they are the only ones which has the same data type as 'resulting string').

What can I do?

Hi mct,

the image in your first post shows several string inputs for FileDialog, not just "pattern"...

Most often you get results much faster by trying out!

Hi mct,

I just "tried out" on my own:

See for yourself which string input suits best for your purpose!

Thank for your reply.

I can understand what the input prompt does, whilst the other inputs 

like button label, default name, pattern, pattern label I do not have much

feelings their function. I try it out as you mentioned.
