Does 6.0.2 have a problem with upload/browse buttons on sites or the save as/open file/export bookmark option or is it just me?

The box to select a file from/to the HD doesn't open. I can't save pages, images, Export/Import the Bookmarks via HTML, open file (CTRL+O), upload images via a browse button on sites, etc. Since I don't have a printer Print print (CTRL+P) defaults to xps which requires a save as dialog.
Only in Firefox.
Version 6.0.2
Windows XP SP3
Last confirmed save as via Firefox was August 22nd.

Well I don't know, I do see in your system details it says..

Maybe you driver is causing issues??? I confess I am at a loss.

How to force the File Path Control Browser button to the RT Target instead of the host machine?

I am building an application on a RT PXI system, and for one of the functions I would like the user to be able to use the browser button of the File Path Control to choose a directory on the PXI. However the browser button seems to only want open a file on the host PC, even though the application is fully deployed on the target. Note that I am controlling the PXI from a host PC.
If anyone has any suggestions that would be great. Thanks.

Hi,
Unfortunately, there is not a VI to do this. Are you browsing to these files from your host VI? In order to access the files on your PXI RT target, you'll need to FTP in and browse to them that way. You could programmatically do this, but there is not a simple VI to do so.

File path control - browse button colour/color

I can't change the colour of the browse button on a file path control. I'm using LV 8.5, but I think I have the same problem on 7.1
Is the only way to change the colour to customise the control? Every other part of it seems to take colours from the tools palette.
Thanks for any pearls of wisdom.
Jon.

I am able to change the path browse button color in 8.51 are you trying to change the button color or the color of the folder on the button. To change the buttoin color use the paint tool and make sure you hit the space bar so you are painting the left color (Background color I cant remember which is which). This probably doesnt work on system buttons.

Why does the Downloads Save files to Browse button do nothing when pressed?

I'm trying to download a couple of different files from a couple of different web sites. I see the "Opening {filename}" dialog box with the "Would you like to save this file?" question and the Save File button, but nothing happens when I click on the Save File button except that the dialog box closes.
When I go into Tools/Options General tab, I select the "Save files to" button, and when I click on the Browse button to choose a directory, nothing happens.
It appears I can no longer download files.

Please disregard. My "My Documents" folder is mapped to a file server on the network, and for some reason the last time I logged in, I was denied access to that network resource. I logged out and logged back in again, and I am able to download successfully.
D'oh.

BUG with File Path Browse Button

Hi,
I am using LabVIEW 2011 SP1 running in Windows 7.
I have a Path Control with the Browse Button visible on a front panel.
In the browse options, I have selected ‘Allow selection of files in LLBs and packed project libraries’
For the Selection Modes, I have Files or Folders and Existing selected.
When this VI is run in the LabVIEW Development System (2011 SP1) the Browse Button works as expected and displays the top level Vis in the Packed Library.
When this VI is run in the LabVIEW Development System (2011 SP1) the Browse Button works as expected and displays the top level Vis in the Packed Library and returns the full path if the selected VI when the OK button is pressed.
I have built the Main VI into an executeable and when this is run the browse button doesn’t display the dialog window when selecting the .LVLIBP file to browse into.
Is this some sort of bug in LabVIEW 2011 SP1?
If it is a bug, has it been fixed in a later release of LabVIEW?
I have attached a small example to demonstrate the problem.
Regards
Ray Farmer

How to disable File Browse... item including browse button

Hi All,
How to disable file File Browse... item including browse button based on Apex Item Value.
thanks,
nr

Hello Trent,
>> Does the read only attribute in 4.0+ of the page item not suffice?
It all depends on your actual scenario.
If the show/hide condition is known pre-rendering, you can use the Application Builder ReadOnly attribute. In this case, the APEX engine actually creates a simple text display so the input field and the browse button will not be displayed at all (and not just grayed out). However, if you need to toggle the status of the item, like in the example, or the status depends on a user input, using the disable attribute is much simpler (If you start with ReadOnly item, you will have to create the file browse item yourself, using JavaScript, or submit/re-direct the page so it will be rendered with the file browse item).

Arie.

Input File browse button missing

The browse button is missing for the input file component where MaximumFiles is set to a value > 1. All that is displayed is the box for the list of files and a blank white space where the input field and browse button should be. Any thoughts?
JDeveloper 11.1.1.7

It looks like the button is rendering in Firefox and Chrome but not in IE8. Using the fusionFx-v1.1.desktop skin (extended) and on Windows 7. All I did was add the component to the page and set the MaximumFiles attribute.

Drag-n-drop a file on the Browse button?

Hi,
Recently discovered I can drag-n-drop a file onto the Browse button in web applications prompting for file upload. Would like to find out more details about this capability. When was it implemented? What are the details of the implementation? Is it a standard capability I can count on for my application use?

Image Button file browser icon missing

Hi there, I've been using C5 this week for the 1st time and have been working through a project. All has gone ok to date, a few niggles along the way but I've run into a huge bug this morning which is wrecking my plan to finish the project.
I'm adding an image button to a slide and have found to my frustration that the file browser in Properties has vanished, pushed out past the properties block, which of course cannot be resized to the right (thanks Adobe, nice UI design there). This means I can't choose any image for my button apart from those already loaded in the preview which is utterly useless. I've attached a screenshot to show what it looks like.
As you can see the Image Button drop down has gone very wide and pushed the folder browser icon out of sight. Simply maddening!
I had been using image buttons all week with out any issues. Yesterday an update appeared (5.0.1.624) for C5 so I applied it. Then this issue started. I have since uninstalled C5 and reinstalled without applying the update and its still doing it. What I didn't do was reboot after the uninstall, maybe I should have done...
Anybody else come across this? if it is a bug its a crippling one!!!!

Hi Niall-Mac and KiHwa -
This is indeed a CP bug!!! We found this some months ago - it turns out that if you name your button images with a very long file name (35-40 characters plus), it slowly starts pushing the "browse" folder icon further and further to the right of the panel. Add a few more buttons with longer file names to the gallery and eventually it disappears altogether, like you both have encountered (see image).
Workaround 1 (best practice IMO until CP dev team fixes this):
We started creating buttons in a separate CP file, creatively named "projectName_buttons" - this way any time we need a button we go to this file and copy/paste it into our project and we never have to mess with the button gallery in our working (source) file. If the "browse" icon disappears again in our buttons file, we simply copy all our buttons from our "project_buttons" file into a new blank project and save over the old (broken) one.
Workaround 2 (not so user-friendly):
1. Stretch your timeline panel as wide as it can go on your monitor (I use two 21" monitors to develop so I can make my timeline rather long)
2. Undock the properties panel so that it is a floating window
3. Drag the properties panel by the topmost dark gray bar just above the "Properties" tab and place it just below the timeline until it snaps into place - now don't let go of it just yet, drag it up a tiny bit further - as you do this a blue bar will appear signifying that it will dock to that position (underneath the timeline) - when you dock it to the timeline it will stretch to the same length as the timeline and voila, you can now see the "browse" icon - however, who wants a properties panel that takes up your whole monitor!!!! I certainly don't.....
On a side note, it is very disheartening that once buttons are in the button gallery you have NO CONTROL over them - if they need to be edited you are forced to rename them so you can import a fresh button. This method unnecessarily creates TWO copies of a button in your gallery - the more edits you make to a button the more copies of that button you get in your gallery....some control over the button gallery would be nice.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,

Getting the file path from a File browse button

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a way to extract the whole file path (not just the file name) from a file which is selected using a file browse button?
I am trying to save the file path as text in my database (I don't want to upload the file). I have linked the file browse object to a table field in the database. But when entered in the database, all I get is a series of random characters, followed by the file name. I would like to have the complete file path instead.
Tom

Hi thanks
I've placed the java script into the head of the page, but unsure as to how to change the taget url for my submit button from doSubmit('SUBMIT') to doPrepareAndSubmit('SUBMIT'). In fact I don't actually have a submit button, but a save new record (which performs an SQL INSERT into the database using the values contained in the fields on the page) or a update record buttons instead.
I'm sorry but my knowledge of java scripts is not very good either.
How do I do the follwoing?: if your submit button has not any target set its target to url:
javascript: doPrepareAndSubmit('SUBMIT')
Cheers, Tom

Capturing file path using a browse button

I've created a registration form and need to allow the end user to click the "browse" button and select a directory - not a file. e.g. \\server\share\directory Once the directory has been selected the text field would be populated and eventually stored in the database. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the right function to capture the directory path. Is it not possible? If not, any other suggestions?
thanks in advance

Missing select mode in Browse button and File Dialog.vi

The 'Browse options' button next to a path control does not seem to allow an 'Existing file or existing directory' option. This is also the case for the 'select mode' input of the File Dialog vi. The user buttons in these dialogs auto-adapt to the select mode. I want these buttons to appear as 'Open' for files, and 'Select Directory' for folders. Is this missing select mode an oversight of National Instruments and is there a workaround?

Hey ,
All you have do is right click on this browse button and go to propertise and select the option of 'Existing file or existing directory' ,this will give you those options in Labview.
cheers
