How do I make a list of input parameters and freely select between them by using mouse?

[goodphy]

Hello.

I'm now studying TDMS file saving and reading.

TDMS usually has more than one channel or group.

Currently I'm using string control to type each channel and group name to specify data to read.

I think this is a kind of old-fashined unwised way.

I want to make some sort of list box on the front panel thus I can freely select group and channel names by using mouse.

Could I get how to realized this?

Please give me detailed name of the VI I have to use in advise.

Thanks!

you can use a listbox to show the channels, the property of the box to fill it with items, and the double click event to select one.

I attached a simple file selection.

Have a look into  the TDMS folders, the select TDMS file already includes a lot of functions, maybe a channel selection is already there....
