If you want drop down menus, then I recommend you use ComboBoxes (in the String Control palette) for your controls.  You can populate them with the Strings[] property.  You can get the list of available strings using the List Path.  When going this route, you will also want to use an Event Structure in order to detect when a value want changed and you can then update the other ComboBoxes.

Just create a property node of the ComboBox.  One of the available properties is Strings[].  You may have to scroll down in the list, but it is there on the top menu.

They are just normal control terminals with the View As Icon turned off.

HI

can you have a look in my vi file and tell me what's wrong ,why it can read the text file

and thank you

Do you get an error?

Why do so many controls have missing labels, or labels that start with spaces?

When you get to using the final "txt" string that you convert to a path, what does it look like?  (i.e. put in an indicator)  You seem to be drilling down through directories, but you don't seem to be using the path of directories you have to build a full file path.  You seem to be just using a filename.

HI 

so how can I use the path to open that text file pleae.

thank you

Use the Build Path function, actually a series of them, to create the full path that includes all the names of sub folders you picked out along the way.
