Reorder list of datafolders

Share icon

Hello,

I have a procedure which does lots of different things (plots, layouts etc) with waves in 4-6 main data folders. The code just gets a list of data folders and works through them in that order. I'd like the user to be able to change/specify the order.

My idea is to display a list of data folders and then be able to reorder them using drag-and-drop.
I found this snippet which looks good, but it's quite old and I'm wondering if there is a WM function I can tap into to do this.

Something like the Reorder Waves dialog would be ideal.

Thank you for any help or ideas.
Thanks. I now have it working fine. It was more simple than I thought.

If anyone is interested, I used the modified version here

And modified the first function to first make a textwave of the data folders (within root:data: in my case):

Function OpenDragNDropBox()
	
	SetDataFolder root:data:
	DFREF dfr = GetDataFolderDFR()
	String folderName
	Variable numDataFolders = CountObjectsDFR(dfr, 4)
	
	Make/O/T/N=(numDataFolders) root:DFList
	Make/O/N=(numDataFolders) root:testSel // is this needed?
	WAVE/T w = root:DFList
	
	Variable i
	
	for(i = 0; i < numDataFolders; i += 1)
		folderName = GetIndexedObjNameDFR(dfr, 4, i)
		w[i] = folderName
	endfor
	
	DoWindow/K Panel_DragNDrop
	Execute/Q "Panel_DragNDrop()"
End
