combo box

[BENIO]

Hello,

I am trying to use a combo box as the following:

be able to select the file name and use the file name as test mode reference so  I can select the wanted selection to activate the test mode , but I don't know the link between selector and combo box.

Does anybody know how to implement such an application?

Regards,

You can write the possible filenames to the "strings" property of the combo box.

If you want a real browse dialog, you could also use a plain path control with the browse button visible.

Please provide more detail. 😉

you mean this?

Here's a simple example (LabVIEW 7.0). Modify as needed.

Thanks for your quick reply!

Let me explain in details.

In fact I want to do automatic measurement of many components, I need to measure Voltage, Temperature,and code.So I gonna I have to write to a file the results and those file got a name base on the type of the measurement,can be 1) V var, Code const, Temp const , 2)code var, V const, temp const 3)Temp var, V const and code const.

that is why I want to select the name describing the measurement mode and then start the appropiate measure,so I need the combo box and maybe Enum so select the mesurement type.How can I interface combo box-enume-case structure for the selection?

P.S: I am using Labview 7.1 so I cannot open the file written in niewer version.

So, basically you just want to select among three choices. There are many possibilities (Enum, listbox, etc.) and a combo box seem the least useful.

The attached simple demo shows a few examples. Maybe it can give you some ideas. (LabVIEW 7.1)
