User click any type of Boolean button to open file path and browse for file

[quadratini26]

Greetings,

I am very new in LabView Programming.

Referring to the attached image, I am wondering if there is a way to open file path when boolean button (switches or LEDs) is clicked.

Boolean button clicked -> the greyed out file path control is enabled  -> and user can click the browse button 

if not, would please suggest a better way to do this?

Regards,

Hi nnhas,

Upon value change (event!) of the button you could call the FileDialog function…

I guess this is what you are talking about with "open file path"!? Otherwise use FileOpen to open a file when the user clicks on those switches…

Boolean button clicked -> the greyed out file path control is enabled  -> and user can click the browse button if not, would please suggest a better way to do this?

There is no "greyed out" filepath control in your image…

But you can use a property node to set the activation state of controls!
