Facility Control

Is it possible to create a dropdown with "names" that link to a certain file destination? I've tried using the string array in my parameters, however it returns my name and not the value of the selection. Essentially, I'm trying to create a dropdown of simple file names to replace a material in XPression which is changed via the value of the file path. I've been executing this through Excel, however I would like to move this into Dashboard for my operator.

Here is an example that reads the a list of files within a directory and shows any *.jpg files in a dropdown list.

<abs contexttype="opengear">
   <meta>
      <params>
         <param access="1" maxlength="0" name="Starting Directory" oid="Starting_Directory" type="STRING" value="C:\" widget="text"/>
         <param access="1" constrainttype="STRING_CHOICE" maxlength="0" name="File List" oid="File_List" type="STRING" value=" " widget="combo">
            <constraint/>
         </param>
      </params>
   </meta>
   <label height="40" left="15" name="Starting Directory: " style="txt-align:east" top="22" width="166"/>
   <param expand="true" height="48" left="182" oid="Starting_Directory" top="18" width="379"/>
   <label height="36" left="29" name="File List: " style="txt-align:east" top="77" width="150"/>
   <param expand="true" height="46" left="182" oid="File_List" showlabel="false" top="73" width="374"/>
   <button buttontype="push" height="49" left="570" name="Load" top="15" width="107">
      <task tasktype="ogscript">var file = ogscript.getFile(params.getValue('Starting_Directory', 0));
if (file != null &amp;&amp; file.exists() &amp;&amp; file.isDirectory())
{
   var filter = ".jpg";    //In this example, we only want jpg files
   var list = file.list();
   var filteredList = [];

   for (var i = 0; i &lt; list.length; i++)
   {
      if (list[i].toLowerCase().endsWith(filter))  //Check the filter
      {
         filteredList.push(list[i]);
      }
   }

   if (filteredList.length == 0)  //Put a blank if we have no files that match the filter
   {
      filteredList.push("");
   }

   var constraint = params.createStringChoiceConstraint(filteredList);
   if (constraint != null)
   {
      params.replaceConstraint('File_List', constraint);
   }
}</task>
   </button>
</abs>
