Is it possible for a saved path to open a folder where the user can select the file to open?

I would like to retieve a link via database that would open a folder of drawings, word documents, pdf files, excel files etc., where the user can select which file they want. Selected files would open in which ever format they were with programs that are already installed on the users computer. For example, the link would open a folder where several solid works files were, and a couple of Word documents. The user would select one of the Solid Works files, and it would open up in the Solid Works installation on the users computer. Is this possible, or must a link point directly to a file?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "link". Are you referring to a URL that uses a "file://" protocol?
The standard File Dialog VI has a "start path" input that you can set so the file dialog opens to that folder.

  • Wait for user to select the OK button

    For my application I cannot use a simple MessagePopup where the user must select the OK button to continue.
    I created a new panel with just a text message and an OK button to act like a MessagePopup.
    When I call InstallPopup and the Panel box pops up I want to wait until the user selects OK before continuing just like the MessagePopup.
    How can I accomplish this?
    Thanks!
    John W.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You can use GetUserEvent () function. In the scenario you have depicted you must have all controls in the popup panel set as "Normal" and only the OK button set as "Hot" (The default control mode). The callback the must handle the panel can be structured like this:
    int pnl, ctl, handle;
    // some code here
    // Code to handle the popup
    handle = LoadPanel (.....)
    InstallPopup (handle);
    GetUserEvent (1, &pnl, &ctl); // Wait for the user to press OK button
    DiscardPanel (handle);
    // The rest of the code here

  • Is it possible for a iPod touch to get a virus when downloading free games off the internet? If yes, is there an antivirus program to protect the ipod. and can some of the current apps be saved from the virus damage?

    Is it possible for a iPod touch to get a virus when downloading free games off the internet? If yes, is there an antivirus program to protect the ipod. and can some of the current apps be saved from the virus damage?

    I had one game permanently just stop working, it usually does crash, but that last time it just went bad, I don't know the reason, I tried powering off iPod, relaunching game, but the game never worked again. I think it corrupted its own save file or some of its own data.
    Have you tried another game or app, do those work? If they do, then I guess you know where the problem lies, but if they all stop working, then what about apps, can apps launch?
    Lastly, apps from the app store are checked by Apple, so they are clean.

  • Way to allow the user access to the saved lists of this Z report

    We have a Z report that we want to run at midnight each Sunday and then view the output/layout first thing Monday morning. We can schedule the report to run but it appears that the only way we can save the output as a 'file' for later viewing is by using the "Save with ID" option, which puts the output into a SAP 'saved list'.
    The problem with this is that it doesn't appear to be possible to access that list from the Z-report - it would appear that you have to go into SQ01 and use the 'saved list' button. This means giving the Z- report user access to SQ01 as well as Z-report, which, for security (SOD) reasons we don't want to do.
    We can run the report in foreground with the output option "File store" and save the output as a file to a specified location,. But this option doesn't appear to be available when the report is scheduled as a background job. If this is done, the background job runs but there's no output anywhere, as far as we can tell.
    So what want is to run the report in background but with the output option 'File store' or equivalent (i.e. an output stored somewhere that the report user can view). Is this not possible, or have we missed something in setting up the report run?
    Or is there a way to allow the user access to the saved lists of this Z report without giving them T-code SQ01?
    Thanks

    Hi !
    I just wonder if the answer from Varishtb below did solve your propblem.
    I have exactly the same problem as you. I also want to be able to look at the saved list without using the sq01.
    If you solved it I will be grateful to get the solution.
    regards Lars
    answer:
    You can call the infoset query directly from a transaction code. There's
    no need to copy it as a 'Z-report' (or as a custom report). In fact,
    everytime you're copying an infoset query to a report, you're calling
    for problems the next time you face an upgrade. (That is because SAP
    changes the internal logic used to handle the infosets queries from
    version to version)
    We're using some infoset queries and they work fine this way.

  • File path control-how to avoid the user to change the path string

    Hi all,
    I'm using "File path control" to chose file name. I don't want the user to write the path in the control directly (by typing) but only to choose the file via the button on the right.
    I can implement this behaviour with path indicator and button of course. But I belieave that it can be done more elegant - only disable the part with the string - not the whole "File path control". But how? I tried to customize the control but not success.
    Is it possible?

    The way I've done it is to make the path part of the control tiny and hide it behind a string indicator.  Then whenever the path control changes value (by pressing the Browse button), I populate the string indicator with the path value.  Here's a sample VI demonstrating this method, saved in LabVIEW 8.0.
    Hope this helps,

    Is it possible to do this with adobe acrobat pro?
    In the case of a negative answer, can Indesign do this?
    thank you.

    Technically it's possible to use a script to prevent someone from going to the next page unless they click a button, but I think it's a bad idea and very user un-friendly. You can add a button that will take someone to the next page, but don't try to restrict them from doing so themselves if they so wish.

  • We have two users that have been using Creative Cloud for almost a year. Recently, sometime in the last 4ish weeks, the users can no longer run Creative Cloud apps. (Yes, our subscription is paid.) Error simply says administrator access is required

    We have two users that have been using Creative Cloud for almost a year. Recently, sometime in the last 4ish weeks, the users can no longer run Creative Cloud apps. (Yes, our subscription is paid.) Error simply says administrator access is required to install. The apps have already been installed. The users cannot run them unless they are in the local admin group.Using "Run as admin" does not work. It gives the same error.
    I have opened a case with adobe support and was basically told to suck it up and put the users in the admin group. Actually, what was said was that it is "mandated that the users have administrative rights". 
    There are a couple of things wrong with this. It was working for both users until recently - a recent required creative cloud update. The users have never been local admins yet the apps were working (poorly, but working).
    We are in an enterprise environment and users simply do not have administrative rights on the computers.
    I have changed permissions on all adobe folders, granting users or authenticated users modify or full control rights, did the same in whatever Adobe registry HKLM keys I could find. Nothing has allowed the users to run the apps - unless they are put in the local admin group.
    Someone has to have a fix for this. Adobe apps have proved to have far too many vunerabilities to even entertain the idea of elevating user rights. I can't imagine that enterprise environments are allowing this.
    Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Jeff,
    Thank you for your response. The users in question are "standard" domain users. We do not reduce users permissions below the standard level.
    The apps do not load with their current standard user permissions.
    The thing that makes this odd, is that up until recently they did this issue with cloud apps. The only way I can make it work for them now is to put them in the local administrator group on their pc's - which is not going to happen.
    This is what they now see. As I said before, this was not a problem up until recently they would see all their available apps. If I put them in the local admin group the apps are listed without having to install. Everything is there, just not accessible to the user.

  • Is there any object in labview that contains a list of data for the user to select (selection one at a time) or add a new data?

    Is there any object in labview that contains a list of data for the user to select (selection one at a time) or add a new data?

    List and table controls -> listbox..is that what you are thinking of?
    The listbox presents the user with a list of options, and you can set it to only accept one selection at a time...Adding new data to the list can not be done directly by the user but if you make e.g. a text control and a button you can programatically insert new objects described in the text box when the button is pressed...(see example).
    If you need more than one column you have the multicolumn listbox. If you want the users to write new entries directly yu can use a table and read selected cells using it's selection start property to read what cell has been selected.

  • How do I create a specific packages for users where in only the admin has the access of which software the user can download?

    Is there any possibilities that the admin of the team can limit the packages of the user? Only the admin can add and remove software to be downloaded for specific users.

    You can include single app plans in team packages, but otherwise no. This will exclusively depend on the users' local permissions on the computer - if the can install one app, they can install all of them, be it only as a trial.

    There are no contacts in itunes.
    Your contact should be on your computer in whatever program you have selected to sync.  Just sync them to the new one.
    Click Support at the top of this page, then click manuals
    Changing the itunes account on nthe iphone is covered there as is restoring the iphone as new or from backup.

  • I like the idea of auto back-up for my new iMac, Ipad and PC Netbook, particularly if I can access all files and data stored on any device.  But I have a Conceptronic router.  Will Time Capsule work with this and how?

    I like the idea of auto back-up for my new iMac, Ipad and PC Netbook, particularly if I can access all files and data stored on any device.  But I have a Conceptronic router.
    1. Will Time Capsule work with this and how?
    2. Can my printer USB be plugged in and then shared between the devices?
    3. Can I create a network and how?
    4.  What happend when a visitor logs onto my existing wireless router?
    I'm new to Macs (well a returning user having started with Mac Plus!!) and not very technical.  Any help / advice will be much appreciated.
    Ray

    The key to what you seem to want to do is to be able to get Apple's Time Capsule router to "join" the network that your Conceptronic router.  I believe that works with some third-party routers, but I've never seen a list of those that work in such a configuration and I have no experience with Conceptronic equipment.
    You might be better off with a Network-Attached Storage (NAS) device instead of a Time Capsule.
