Dialog Box to select multiple type of csv file.

Rajat

Hi all,

 

I want to create a dialog box which asks user to select 2 files.

 

I could use use pick file function but I want to create a dialog box which picks the file in one shot otherwise pick have to run multiple times.

 

I want dialog similar to shown in image. 

Thanks

If you want an interface that's like your sketch, here's a start. At the moment you could select the same file to play both roles, but that's probably not what you want.

NamesDefaultToHere(1);

// Get a list of folders and directories
myFiles = FilesInDirectory("$Desktop");

// Only keep .csv files
for(f = NItems(myFiles), f >=1, f--,
	thisOne = myFiles[f];
	if (!IsFile(thisOne) | !EndsWith(thisOne, ".csv"), RemoveFrom(myFiles, f));
	);
if(Nitems(myFiles) < 2, Print("Not enough .CSV files found"); Beep(); Throw());

// Make a user interface
nw = 
NewWindow("Pick Two Files",
	LineUpBox(NCol(2),
		TextBox("   Pick File 1:"),
		cb1 = ComboBox(myFiles),
		TextBox("   Pick File 2:"),
		cb2 = ComboBox(myFiles)
		),
	ButtonBox("OK", OKscript);
	);

// Runs when 'OK' button is pressed
OKscript =
Expr(
	nw << closeWindow;
	f1 = myFiles[cb1 << get];
	f2 = myFiles[cb2 << get];
	Print(f1, f2);
	);
