This XControl is originated from this discussion.

It will truncate a path to fit inside a string:

Besides basic funtionality it has the following properties:

• Truncated string (Read only property that will return the truncated string)
  
• Button Visible (Read/Write, this property will show/hide the browse button)
  
• Browse properties (Read/Write, this property will set/get the browse options)
  

Methods:

• Truncate Path (this method uses the VIs to truncate a path to a string)
  

For the developer it has the following advantages:

• Set the browse options with a dialog similar to the native browse options dialog
  
• Browse for a path
  
• Show/Hide browse button
  

Known issues:

No drag and drop

Bounds of indicator/control include invisible browse button
