How to populate the folder names from a particular folder in the drop down of a control?

[Rashme_SR]

I am using an EDIT VI inorder to create MODEL, DRAWING NO  and the other parameters and save it. For each new MODEL a new folder will get created at a specific path. 

How can I populate all those MODEL names in the dropdown of a control?

What do you have so far?

Dear Bill,

I am able to create the folders of different models. But while clicking the drop down of the MODEL(control) I need those folders names to get populated.

If I undesrstand correctly you have a specific path containing sub folders, and you want to list all subfolders in a drop down manu?

you should create a manu ring that you'll use as your drop down manu.

then use the vi "list folder" on your path to get a list of all subfolders, and wire it to a "strings[]" property node of the ring control. The ring manu will then be populated with the list of folders.
