Open File Dialog Win32

| Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to have an Open File dialog with MaxGui and how this works. Can I access the WinXP default one? Thanks in advance for your help. |
| ||
| Yep - it's actually in the standard BlitzMax installation under the BRL.System module and is therefore cross-platform. Basically, you use RequestFile$() - look it up in the BlitzMax docs for a working example and parameter information. |

| Thanks a lot Seb, you helped me with a little program I need to write to make my life easier at work. |
| ||
| No probs, just in case you didn't see the others, there is also RequestColor(), RequestDir() and in the MaxGUI module there is RequestFont(). |
| ||
| Many thanks. I am sure I will find an opportunity to use them as well. Never thought that Bmax would help me with my job ;-) |

| Make sure that you check the workaround for the file requester bug posted here: http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=62957 |

| Interesting...Thanks Grisu. |

| Hello everyone. I'm new here in this forum and I'm glad there is this large community and the full detailed help in BlitzMax. I have noticed however a problem BlitzMax has when I use the RequestFile$(): When the filedialog shows on screen and I choose to select a file which as a filename combosed by unicode characters, the "filename$" variable returns the name of the file as question marks, something like this: "????????". Isn't there any way to give some kind of command which can return to me the old 8.1 MS-DOS version of the filename to avoid this problem? |
