| Good Morning, I'd like to include a 'file requester' popup box when selecting 'load...' in one of my programs. There doesn't seem to be a blitz3d command to do this. So I'd like to know, what's the easiest way to implement... my initial thoughts are to call a blitzplus program (execfile), and store the returned filename in a file and then read from the file...very clunky... maybe there's a dll or something somewhere that would let me do this.... alternatively I could write my own...but I'd rather not reinvent the wheel. from Matt |

| someone wrote a lib for b3d.. maybe it was kev and it had a lot of gui stuff for blitz including file requesters if I remember right. |

| Blitzsys in the userlibs section. Extremey easy to use and confiigure. You can do Browse For Folder type requesters as well as Filename requesters by extensions with all the flag settings as requireed by Windows. It has a great deal more stuff too, which may come in handy. |
