I want to have a Combo Box or drop down menu for a user to select a filename that exsists in a specific folder. I don't want the user to have access to various folders. I want them to be limited to the files in a specific folder. I attached a screenshot of an example of what I want the finished result to be with the Combo Box displaying the files in a specific folder. The files in the folder will change in the future so I want the Combo Box to update each time the vi is executed.
Thanks,
Nathan

Hi,
You can do something like the photo attached. This will grab a list of the files in the folder and list them in the combo box. The property node used is the combo box/strings.

Use List File Function to get the files under specified folder and using property node of combo box (Property Name:Strings) display the Listed Files
