FileSelector Interactor #!N #!EC #!N #!N The FileSelector interactor can be 
used to select a file from within the file system (

#!EF #!N #!EC #!N #!N The interactor consists of a text 
field containing a string and a button labelled with an ellipses. 
Clicking on the button causes a file selection dialog box to 
be opened. The file selection dialog box, illustrated in  #!Lfilesb93,dxall431 f Figure 93  #!EL  , 
functions in a similar manner to other file selection dialog boxes 
(for a description on how to use file selection dialog boxes 
see  #!Lsavervp,dxall357 h Saving and Restoring a Visual Program  #!EL  ) with the exception of the buttons at the 
bottom of the dialog box. #!Cbrown #!N  #!F-adobe-times-medium-r-normal--18*    #!Rfilesb93 #!N Graphics

OK #!EF causes the file name in the Selection area to 
be set in the text field of the FileSelector interactor and 
closes the file selection dialog box.  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Filter #!EF applies the 
filter string specified in the Filter area.  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Close #!EF closes 
the file selection dialog box without any modification to the FileSelector 
interactor text field.  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Apply #!EF causes the file name in 
the Selection area to be set in the text field of 
the FileSelector interactor and leaves the file selection dialog box open. 
#!N #!N An alternate way of specifying or modifying a file 
name in the FileSelector text field is to directly type into 
the field. See  #!Ledtxt,dxall290 h Editing Text Fields  #!EL  on how to enter and modify text 
in a text field. #!N #!N The FileSelector interactor produces two 
outputs: the first output is the contents of the text field 
(typically a fully qualified path name set from the file selection 
dialog box). The second output is the name of the file 
as it appears in the directory (that is, excluding any directory 
name). #!N #!N #!N  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   Next Topic #!EF #!N #!N  #!Lrsetint,dxall432 h Reset Interactor  #!EL
