Dialog Box to select multiple type of csv file.

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

The Pick File has a "Multiple" option that allows for the selection of multiple files

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);
 );
