How to add array of file types to file dialog box

Hi
I just want to know how to add array of file types in file dialog box vi. I know that multiple file type can be added to filedialog vi in the pattern Input string separated by semicolon (eg *.vi;*.doc;*.jpeg;*.xls). But i want file dialog which is shown in the below picture.
I think that file dialog vi call user32.dll but i don't have that header file to call that dll.
Waiting for your esteemed response.
Thanks & Regards

I'm not sure how (or even if) it can be achieved using the LabVIEW built-in open dialog, but a .NET call to openfiledialog (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.openfiledialog.aspx) can do what you're looking for. The .NET functions are better documentented that simple user.dll calls, so it might be easier to implement.

How to create a custom file dialog box/vi (win)??

Hello,
I'd like to create a custom file dialog box to handle the reading of my tdms files. Basicly I want to extend the existing file select dialog box with a graphical preview of the data in the selected file. I know I can create all the logic for file selection by hand and use a list box to display the filelist, but I would rather prefer to somehow use the existing windows controls. So is it possible to get the windows file selector on the front panel of a vi and react to the user selection? If so, is there any example available on how to do this? Any other options? I'm using labview 8.2
thanks for your input!
klaus

Klaus,
I wouldn't know that Microsoft provides access to the controls that Explorer and file dialog consist of.
There might be a different and more powerful solution though. The
WINDOWS Explorer / file dialog have a plugin API that allows you to
associate your own application for thumbnail creation with a particular
file extension. That way, TDMS thumbnails will show in any instance of
Explorer and
File Dialog without you having to make your own dialog. Basically, you
would need to compile the VI that creates the thumbnail into a
LabVIEW-built DLL and then wrap this DLL with some C++ boilerplate code
that Microsoft provides. You might want to have a look at the bottom of
this article to get an idea of how the whole thing works:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/0600/w2kui2/default.aspx.
Hope that helps,

How to trigger an "open file" dialog box

I am using forms 10g. Does anyone know of codes to trigger "open file" dialog box in a button object?
My goal is that the user may be able to select a file from his terminal by clicking a button.
Thanks in advance.

As aweiden suggests, there are additional setup steps that have to be completed on your workstation as well as the Forms server so you can use the WebUtil library. If you are using Forms 10g R2, then I recommend you conduct a search of the Forms Help system (Search tab) on "WebUtil" and select the "Configuring WebUitl" topic. If you are on Forms 10g R1 (9.0.4), then you had to download and install WebUtil on your workstation. I recommend you read the Web_Util.pdf in the "DOC" folder an follow all of the steps in Chapter 2 : Configuring WebUtil.

How to add a title to a JavaScript Confirm dialog box.

function confirmDelete() {
var msg = "Do you want to continue removing the items ?";
return confirm(msg);
Presently it says http://locahost:8080/says etc on the title bar for the dialog box. Instead I want to set the title as "Confirm Delete". How can I do this?

You're talking about the document title as you set it in the HTML head? Just alter the title of the document accordingly in the same Javascript function.
If you find Javascript hard, there's a nice tutorial at w3schools.com. And for Javascript related questions better use a forum devoted to Javascript. There are ones at webdeveloper.com and dynamicdrive.com.

How do I get back to the newest file dialog box style in LabVIEW?

I have LabVIEW 7.1 and LabVIEW 6.0.2 installed on the same machine. When I doubleclick a .vi file it tries to open in LV602. Of course, if it is a LV71 VI I get an error and it doesn't open. Then I run LV71 and load the desired VI--in this case by using the Open arrow to find it in the "recently opened" list. Now, I've made this mistake before, especially when I don't remember whether I used LV602 or LV71 to create the VI, and nothing bad has happened.
But this time something undesirable did happen: all Open File dialog boxes are of the old funky style. How do I get the file dialog boxes back that I've grown used to seeing when I use LV71?
CLUES:
1. I get the old style dialog box even when I try to open a VI--not just when a running VI invokes it.
2. The built version of the VI brings up the correct, new style, file dialog box--unlike the development environment.
I haven't found any settings in the options area that would appear to affect the file dialog box style. Has anyone ever seen anything like this?

Thanks for the response,
Warren. I think all my problems with LV versions coexisting
peacefully have been related to NIDAQ--and I think the workaround (for
supporting the different levels of LV DAQ VIs--see my response to
Benoit, above) shows that it is not NECESSARY for NI to orphan old LV
versions' DAQ functionality on the development computer, though it is
still painful to be able to have only one version of NIDAQ available on
a given target computer. It's probably a marketting decision
meant to encourage users to stay on the straight-and-narrow upgrade
path.
NI-DAQ has usually been working fine in
several different installed LabVIEW versions on my computer. What is
important is the order of installation. Start first with the lowest
LabVIEW version and install the latest NI-DAQ that supports that
LabVIEW version. Then go to the next LabVIEW version and install again
the latest NI-DAQ version that supported this LabVIEW version and so
on. I'm regularly working with 6.1 up to 7.1 and starting with 8.0
slowly and haven't had real show stoppers yet.

File Dialog Box

Hi
I am using struts framework for my web application, and i am working on reports section,
i want File Dialog box like open,save when i click generate report button , so user can save generated report in his local system.how can we do this..currently i am able to generae the data bygiving the local file path.(String filename = "c:\\csv\\billreport.csv"; FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(filename);)
my action will call my dao mthod that it will get the qry data.so when i click generate report button i am calling java script mthod its calling my action.
so how can we get the File dialog box when i click buton.i have to write some code in my java script method?
plz help me.

Just let the link point to some servlet which takes the file identifier as request parameter or pathinfo, then gets an InputStream of the file contents somehow, then writes it to the OutputStream of the response. That's basically all. If you want a 'Save As' dialogue all the time, then you need to set content-disposition header to "attachment" as well. Else you're dependent on the browser default configuration.
You can find here a (basic) example to get the idea [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2007/07/fileservlet.html].

How to add list of multiple file types to file type of file dialog box in LabVIEW

How to add list of multiple file types to file type of file dialog box in LabVIEW?
In file dialog box there is option to add only one file type,in the list,not by seperating commas,
regards,
Naresh.N

Write the file types in pattern Input string, separated by a semicolon ;
For example: *.vi;*.doc;*.jpeg;*.xls
This should return the set of files with matching extensions

How to add an audio file to a link

I am working on a project using IWeb and I am trying to figure out if it is possible and then, if it is how to add an audio file to a link. I would really be glad of your help as I am having problems meeting the requirements of the project if I don't make it work.
Also, is it possible when having added a movie clip from quick time player to have the clip start as soon as the page is "opening", that is without pressing the play button?
I am waiting in great suspense to see if anybody can help me out. If you have the answers to my questions, please send me an email at [email protected] - thank you so much :o)

Hi Maiken
Welcome to the discussion forums.
All you need is open iWeb, select text or image, open inspector, go to link, check the "enable as a hyperlink" box, in "link to" there's a teardown menu where you select "a file" and select the file you want to link to.
If you want to have it downloading look at [this|http://alyeska.altervista.org/en/iWeb_Downloads.html]
For the second question:
select the movie file in iWeb go to inspector, then to the last icon (showing the quicktime logo) and check the box that say "Autoplay".

Cédric
