File Path

[labview1958]

I am trying to make "Please choose location to save file". I have copied and pasted it from somewhere. However how do I make it myself. I tried using the CONTROLS panel without any success. Anyone can help. The VI is attached.

Hi

Could you give some more information?

If you just want a dialog to browse for a file-destination, there is already a vi in the file palette (File I/O >> Advanced File Functions) called File Dialog.

I want to know how to recreate the green symbol with the heading "Please Choose Location To Save File". How is that symbol recreated in the BLOCK diagram and it's corresponding image in the front panel.

Ah - now I see.

That's a path reference. You can create on various ways:

1a. Place a "control refnum" from the refnum palette on the front panel

1b. Right-click it and select Select VI Server Class >> Generic >> GObject >> Control >> Path (btw using this way you can create almost every kind of control reference)

2a. Place a path control on the front panel

2b. Right-click it and select Create >> reference

2c. Right-click the reference on the block diagram and select Create >> control

Hope this helps.
