How Do I Get Rid of the File Dialog "Save" Button?

[Steve_G]

I am using Labview 8.0 and the File Dialog vi to allow my users to navigate to a folder and select it.  I've set the Selection Mode to "Folders only" and "New or existing."  When the dialog box appears it has 3 buttons: Save, Cancel, and Current Folder.  They are supposed to press the Current Folder button, and the Save button tends to confuse them, and eventually they press one of the other buttons.  Is there a way to get rid of the Save button completely?  I'm attaching my vi and a screen shot of the dialog box.  Thanks.

The save is there so that a new folder can be created. If you don't want to see the save button, you can change the selection mode to existing and then what will be seen is Open, Cancel, and Current Folder. I think anything else would require a call into the windows api with the Call Library Function Node.

Have a look at the "browse for folder" dialog shown at the following link:

It might just do what you need. 🙂

Thank you so much!  That tree dialog box is exactly what I need.
