FileSelectPopup not recognizing the default file spec parameter

[nickb · Accepted solution]

Sorry I didn't mention the run-time engine earlier - I had assumed you'd be able to activate CVI 2010 SP1.  This was a poor assumption on my part...

You will only need to uninstall CVI 2010 SP1.  To do this, launch Add/Remove Programs from the control panel, find National Instruments Software in the list, and select Uninstall/Change:

Once you've done this, you just need to find CVI 2010 SP1 and select Remove:

After CVI 2010 SP1 has been uninstalled, you can then reinstall CVI 2010.

I'm sorry for all the inconvenience -

Okay, that wasn't too painful.  I'm up and running with my default file names showing up in the file select pop-up.  Thanks for the help.

For the runtime cvi2012 the same problem :

 the FileSelectPopup failure to display the defaultFileSpec on the popup.

There is an additional anomaly.  If you supply a defaultFileSpec, even though it does not display it,

it uses it to override the fileTypeList.

For example:  if defaultFileSpec is "presets.prst", and defaultFileSpec is "*.txt; *.sav; *.prst"

the popup will only display "*.prst"

This seems like a duplicate post from one of the other messages. I was not able to reproduce the bug in CVI 2012. Can you elaborate on the problem you are having?

we have an application developped under cvi 9.01.
fileselectpopup function works with filters.

example:

FileSelectPopup (RepFicLxx, "*.q??;*.Q??;*.b??;*.B??;*.c??;*.C??;*.x??;*.X??;*.y??;*.Y??;*.p??;*.P??","*.*",
         "Selection conf software",
         VAL_SELECT_BUTTON, 0, 0, 1, 0, Nom_Catalogue);

since the update in runtime cvi2012 it does not work in NAME FILE tab and empty.

Do you experience the same behavior with the CVI 2010SP1 Run-Time Engine? This may be specific to CVI 9.0.1, but I will try to reproduce this.

the "samples\userint\popups.c" use fileselectpopup ,this sample has the same problem with compiling cvi2012.but is ok with compiling cvi901.
