Can we create an array as a button?

Question

I konw that my subject is not really clear....
I have files names in an excel project. I want to display all of this files like a button in the aim to open one, considering to files inside the excel file:
For instance : if I have 3 files : file1, file2, file3 the VI does a menu button with ONLY 3 solutions: file1, file2, file3 to permit to the user to clic on one of this 3 files.
Is it possible?Message Edited by ramiral on 04-26-2005 04:50 AM

Answer 1

copied from labview manual:
Use the Property Node to get and set various properties on an application
or VI. Select properties from the node by using the Operating tool to click
the property terminal or by right-clicking the white area of the node and
selecting Properties from the shortcut menu.
You can read or write multiple properties using a single node, however
some properties are not writable. Use the Positioning tool to resize the
Property Node to add new terminals. A small direction arrow to the right of
the property indicates a property you read. A small direction arrow to the
left of the property indicates a property you write. Right-click the property
and select Change to Read or Change to Write from the shortcut menu to
change the operation of the property.
The node executes from top to bottom. The Property Node does not execute
if an error occurs before it executes, so always check for the possibility of
errors. If an error occurs in a property, LabVIEW ignores the remaining
properties and returns an error. The error out cluster contains information
about which property caused the error.
If the Property Node opens and returns a reference to an application or VI,
use the Close Reference function to close the application or VI reference.
LabVIEW closes control references when that reference is no longer
needed. You do not have to explicitly close control references.
Implicitly Linked Property Nodes
When you create a Property Node from a front panel object by
right-clicking the object and selecting Create»Property Node from the
shortcut menu, LabVIEW creates a Property Node on the block diagram
that is implicitly linked to the front panel object. Because these Property
Nodes are implicitly linked to the object from which it was created, they
have no refnum input, and you do not need to wire the Property Node to
the terminal of the front panel object or the control reference. Refer to the
Controlling Front Panel Objects section of this chapter for more
information about control references.
if you still don't get it, i suggest that you read the labview manual, or parts of it and take a look at a few example's supplied by labview
