Display selected file in button box

matt7109

Hi there,

I have a button that prompts user to select 2 files. However, once the user clicks the button and picks a file, I would like the path name to show up on the button so that the user knows the file was correctly selected. In the photo below, once a user picks a file, I want that selected path to show up in the highlighted area. 

Current Code:

New Window( "Data and Limits file",
	<<modal,
	Text box(""),
	Text box("Choose a data file:"),
	Button Box( "Pick file", D = Pick File()),
	//Text box(L),
	Text box (""),
	Text box (""),
	Text box("Choose a limits file:"),
	Button Box( "Pick File", L = Pick File()),
	//Text box(D),
	Text box(""),
	Text box (""),
	);

Thanks!
