Blank Explorer Folder and Files

[sambnc]

Hello All,

Please does anyone know why this happens?

Best.

Is it reproducible on a different machine?

Also provide more information: LabVIEW version, toolkits, OS, bitness, etc.

Can you attach a small VI that demonstrates the problem?

Is it reproducible on a different machine?

No its not reproducible even on the same machine. It's quite random.

Also provide more information: LabVIEW version, toolkits, OS, bitness, etc.

Labview 2012, ALL tool kits (Academic Site) Windows 7 Pro. 32 bit Labviews on 64 Bit Machine. 

Can you attach a small VI that demonstrates the problem?

I can reproduce this problem wven with a small file selector its seems fine.

Thanks!

Hi Sam

Thank you for posting.

As altenbach asked, could you please attach a small VI which demonstrates the problem?

You stated that 'it's quite random', so does this only occur sometimes? It seems like the order of elements in the window is jumbled, if you drag the bottom right corner to enlargen it does the file selection tree become visible?

Have you been able to reproduce this using a file selector in another application? (i.e. notepad)

File open dialog boxes are usually a system component(i.e. this could be an OS issue) called via API.

Kind Regards

Chris

I also suspect its a system component called via API but the question is which is it. Thats it the hard part to trace. Labview works fine with a simple file selector VI.
