Select file dialog

[Ngouda]

Select In my vi below, I read the contents of a file, put it in the List-Scenario ring and assign each column the corresponding ring (Ring1,Ring2,Ring3,Ring4). And that's done.

Now what I want to change in this vi: instead of reading the file directly, I want when the user clicks on the List_Scenarios ring a window to appear for the user to choose their own file and the code continues.

How do I do this please?

Thanks

There is a File Dialog in the palettes.  Look in the File I/O->Advanced File Functions palette.

• The scenario list is already overloaded because it is used to select a scenario, so you should not use it to select a file. Add a button to select a file, or do an event for value change on the path control.
• The case structure in the test case is not needed, because if a latch action button changes it is guaranteed to be true (assuming the default value is FALSE).
• Your exit button has the wrong mechanical action.
• You probably want to write strings[] into the rings, not "ringtext.text".
• etc...
