Get path of open folder

[iyeager2012]

Anyone know of a method to get the path of an open windows explorer window, either in Labview or through a system call?

[lacVIEW]

You will have to be a little more clear on your question. There are a number of ways to get a file path in LabView under File I/O>>File Constants....

If you want the user to select the path an easy way would be to use the "File Dialog" express VI located under Express>>Input>>File Dialog.

Hi iyeager2012,

                           I hope you are looking for this:-

                           you can work with the user32.dll.See the attached example,with this example you get the Window ID.The window title is needed for the identification.If you want the file path of the adress bar, you should ask microsoft for further informations.

 Hope this helps!
