more options using dialog buttons

[larson09]

Hello!

In my application the user can save the results in a file. To input the name of this file i'm thinking to use a dialog button but i want that the user introduces the name of the file in the dialog button and then press ok. I'm looking for a dialog button where you can write  a name but i haven't found it. I want to know how i canbuild a dialog button where the user can write a name and the press ok or cancel.

If you can post a simple example it would be perfect.

Thanks

Larson

Hi,

Instead of Dialog button,  make a sub Vi pop up and you can type the path in it.

look at attached VI

Hi

Without having seen the attachment of devchander, I just can say, why don't you use the built in file dialog?

Hello becktho,

in this case i can't use file dialog because i'm using matlab script block to make some calculations and i need this name to open a .mat file.

But thanks fo your reply, I'll use in other part of my vi.

Hey larson,

here we go LabVIew 7 it will be.

And Thomas, Yes i had indeed used Dialog option for my sub VI's appearance.

Larson, find 2 Vi's.

 file dialog is the main vi and Pop is a sub VI

It should suit ur purpose just fine

hello devchander,

i've seen your vi and is what i wanted. But i have a problem when you push ENTER FILE NAME, it starts running pop.vi and the machine works at 100%, how i can change this vi for not to carry the machine at full work.....with an event structure?? I don't know.

Thanks!
