PDA Folder Directory Listing

[Controlink_Systems]

Hello List,

In an attempt to minimize typing for the PDA User, I would like to show a list of files located in a particular folder or let them select a file name while browsing.

I know how to accomplish this using LabVIEW; however, the PDA Module does not seem to support List.VI and some of the other "browsing" tools. In fact, I would be able to capature the file name if I could force some type of a browse event similar to what occurs using the simple "File Dialog" in LabVIEW.

My objective is to let them select files (about 15 characters in length) without having to manually enter them with stylus, which can be time consuming.

yes even I am eagerly waiting to hear for some workaround or a solution for the above mentioned posting.

This sounds like a great suggestion for NI. Goto www.ni.com >> contact NI >> feedback to give product feedback to R&D managers. These are the people that can make improvements happen.

Hello List,

I was hoping as well for some type of a workaround to generate a file listing or a browse type event.

Any ideas?

TIA,

Guy

It can be done through API calls, however, I tried several times to build a DLL out of it for PDA but couldn't get it to work (compile). NI really need to simplify the process to call native API functions.
