A small panel is presented to the user for loading multiple files into an Igor experiment. This panel gives the user the ability to navigate to the disk folder containing files to load. A listbox is then updated to show a list of files in that folder. The shift key can be used to define contiguous groups of files and the control key (Win) or command key (Mac) can be used to select and deselect individual files in the listbox. Finally a button "GetFiles" is used to end file selection and initiate further code exection. The panel code stores its waves in its own subfolder.

This code currently is as used in my work and so contains references to file loading routines (procedures) not included here. I will be happy to forward any of those routines if anyone is interested. I will try to find time to clean up this code so that it only provides the simple function of providing a list of user selected files.

As of the latest update (MultiFileLoader_0.ipf, 04/21/2008) myapplication specific code has been removed from these procedures. It should be relatively simple to incorporate these procedures into other applications. See release notes for more details.
