RequestFile() in full screen mode?

Anyone know if it's possible to open a file requester and have it display in my full screen app? Right now calling RequestFile() minimizes the application but doesn't maximize it after it's closed. It would be nice of I didn't have to write my own file requestor for full sreen mode use...

I think requestfile is only something that appears on the desktop screen - it's calling upon an operating-system routine to present a standard file requester. If the o/s allows such windows to appear on top of full-screen windows that's one thing, but probably not. You may have to write your own to get it to run while you're in fullscreen mode.
