    It is seems more confused.  You can take a screenshot of the dialog box that opens.

    Preview allows you to create a screen capture?  How about pass order 4 and save to the desktop.

  • Problem with the file dialog box

    Hello erveryone,.

    My problem is quite easy... I try to use the file of dialogue vi of NOR and its work properly, but when I select a file using the double click, the second click is detected as a click on my Panel of...

    Example, if the file I select in the local file dialog box is justa button on my Panel (under the pop - up), the action for this button is run...

    I tried to disable my front panel when you use the dialog box, but it doesn't change anything.

    Someone there had the same problem? Anyone find a solution to this problem?

    Thanks for the help,

    Fabrice

    Hmm... What's not here? When the file in the dialog selected with double-click, and then disappeared with the mouse down, so dialogue, your dialogue control receives the mouse upward:

    Double click: mouse-> mouse-> mouse downwards upwards downwards (here missing dialogue)-> the mouse upwards (you got it). Nothing wrong. Can be inconvenient in some cases.

  • File dialog box works no more Support files Datalog

    How can I get rid of the file dialog function no Support Datalog Files any longer? »

    UH... could you repeat your question please? With a little better explanation? As it is, I don't know if you're wondering if it supports it, or if you complain that it does not, that I do not understand, since the file dialog box is just for file selection. Are you aware of the Datalog functions?

  • File dialog box cut the default name

    Hi all

    I recently migrated from LV2011 to LV2012 and I have a problem with the dialog file Express vi. It seems, that in LV2012 the Windows dialog box that appears after invoking the file dialog box, adjust the default name to 14 characters (or rather the chain moves to the left so the first x characters are hidden). Please see screenshot attached screen and VI. It's OK in LV2011 (have tested the same code yesterday on another PC with LV2011). Is there a solution or the solution? This is a minor bug, but given that my application is distributed to a customer who pays it mind rather

    Thank you for your reply, Andrew!

    Your VI not exactly help me with my code, but it helped me to find the path . Unfortunately, when I used your VI, the behavior was exactly the same as with the file dialog box. But I noticed that it works only when I select 'create' to the function input terminal (with "create or replace" or something else I've known the cutting chain).

    Then I tried to override the setting of file express VI dialog box of 'New or existing' on 'New' with this setting, the file dialog box works very well (and there seems to be no difference between 'New or existing' and 'New').

    This problem is solved, thank you once more!

  • The cancellation of the 'file' dialog box and handle errors caused by the empty path that makes the DB connection

    Hi guys.

    I developed a VI that connects to the database reads the names of tables, columns of the selected table, etc. It works well as I want to.

    However, I have problem with identifying the UDL file with function of dialog 'file' use in a structure of the event that is triggered when the button 'Open' value is changed. It also works well, when I choose the UDL file, but the problem is when I cancel it and I get the error 43.

    I tried to deal with this problem with a "error handler" function to clear the error 43 but the next errors that are associated with the database conncetion appeared. The reason is, when file dialog is cancelled, an empty path passes by reference of connection and I can't start the while loop where are the key codes. I also used a box Structure connected to "Cancelled" with 'DB connection tool' in case of real and connection the reference connection for the while loop, but I get the same result.

    I want to apply for work as: start to push the button "Open" and select the file UDL, the loop run to establish the connections database, if not with the cancellation of the file dialog box, the application waits by pushing the button open and select the UDL file again.

    Thanks a lot for your help in advance.

    Hi lman,.

    start to push the button "Open" and select the file UDL, the loop run to establish the connections database, if not with the cancellation of the file dialog box, the application waits by pushing the button open and select the UDL file again.

    Some pseudocode, easy to implement:

    WHILE
    
      onevent(OPEN button)
        FileDialog
    
      IF file selected THEN
        open database
        do calculations
      ELSE
        do nothing
      ENDIF
    
    WEND
    

    What is your problem with the help of loops and structures of the case?

    There is no mechanism for this today. What you see here are common OS directories like 'Home' or 'Documents' and then recently traversed directories.

    There seems to be a bug in CC2014, that appears when you open Illustrator / place dialogue together for display column and sort by date. You can adapt it to display by name or a list of point of view.
