multiples patterns in File Dialog

[paulohp]

In the File Dialog, I'd like to put multiple lines with different patterns in the LabView File Dialog such as the picture below...

 

How I do this?  Are there any way to "All Files" not appear?

If memory serves, you can do this by using semicolons to delimit the list of extensions (e.g. "bmp;jpg;png"). I think this should appear in the documentation.

Don't know about the all files line, though. I would suggest you do a search for both.

Cross post.

I think a better answer can be found here:

(an example is given at the last post)

Hi

This is how I do it.

Cheers,

Note that this primative is not directly available in the palette in more recent versions of LabVIEW.

The File Dialog Express VI accepts the same pattern label shown in Mikael's example.

Could someone show me where this feature is documented? I've been trying to do this for as long as I've been using LabVIEW (about 13 years) and have never been able to figure out how to do this!

I wonder why NI say this function is outdated. If you dig to the bottom of the Express VI you will find that function in the core. They have just removed it from the palette

They never said it's outdated really. But when they redesigned the file IO palatte they did a deadly sin with that function by putting a lot of its operation configuration into the right click pop-up menu rather than making it availalable through connector pane elements. To hide that whole configuration woodoo they then wrote an Express VI wrapper.

The person who did this all most likely had worked on the Express VI functionality and was looking for a way to justify to use it somewhere and found that by making the File Dialog primitive to work so unintuitively, he had a prime candidate to wrap everything up in an Express VI.
