caliing My Computer in LabVIEW

[Matthew_Kelton]

The File Dialog is not an ActiveX control in and of itself.  It is comprised of several ActiveX controls such as TreeView, ComboBox, etc.  It has a bunch of code written for it to do the "work."  You will find many 3rd party ActiveX controls out there that simulate the behavior of the explorer window or file dialog control, etc.  If you want a pure G version of this, you need to write the code.  YOu can make an XControl out of it to reuse it if you wish, but there is no quick and dirty solution to this.

I looked into doing something like this for some project (I can't even remember why anymore), and it was just not worth the effort to get what I was looking for.

Ya, finally you are hitting at the right point (Thanks a heap to ALTEN). I wanted a window for browsing in the front panel itself. I just wanted the expert's help whether such a thing was possible or not.

(Instead some people here started blasting me off)

And yes, internet browsing is possible through the ActiveX. I wanted something similar to that.

Also, Mr. Ray, I need not remind you that this is a public forum and everyone is entitled to their own opinions. But, this in turn does not entitle you to deride  people.

We are all sharing knowledge and discussing in this forum. There is a conduct to put things and your opinions forward.  Just because you are unable to appreciate someone’s perspective of the problem, does not mean that you label them as  “Idiots” and accuse them of bickering !!

The forum says that you are a Veteran but your manner of putting down people is not appreciable at all

Dear Somil Gautam,

Please try to understand things. Don't blame anyone here. Dennis and Ray are trying their best to help you in whatever simpler method possible. Please take it positively.

If you keep telling them like this, the people will get irritated and don't even look at your posts.

Please don't take this as a warning.

Thanks for your understanding,

Mathan

I understand that Mathan and i am definitely going to take your advice in a very very positive way!!!

But just on the basis of having more knowledge than me, no-one can speak to me like that.

The same thing could be said in some nice way too but he simply......

Anyways leave it. 

I want to tell you that my issue has been solved. Now on the front panel, i am getting a window in which i can explore my computer. Thanks to the Discussion and the people who participated in it including Ray and Dennis!!!

And Mathan, Thanks for the advice once again. You definitely want my queries to be answered on this forum.

After all, You always come to my RESCUE 😉 ;). haha, tc

[Mathan]

Big thanks for taking it as positive. We are all here for sharing our knowledge and improve ourself.

By the way, can you please do one favor. Atleast for me? Can you please post your findings here so that it will help some other people in the future.

Also please mark whichever post you think is the best solution to your problem and mark it as solution to close this thread.

Hey man, Do not say it a favour. Everybody has contributed and everything has a right on it.

 So here is what i found out.

Actually, the windows can be explored from the Web Browser ActiveX control. This is the basic thing. You just can make it more meaningful by adding more controls and other things of your choice.

I am attaching the VI along.

oops!!! EVERYONE has a right on it 🙂 🙂
