..i have noticed that my 3D application stays frozen once RequestFile() command is executed, until given filerequested window is not anymore used..im wondering, how to avoid this? Also, because of same reason, im getting filerequester window everywhere on screen, if i decide to move it..



how to fix this guys? Or at least, how to make filerequester window fixed at one location, without ability to move??

yea, that is a deficiency of blitzmax. at least it works that way in window mode but in some full screen modes you'll be luck if you even see it. I have been working on my own independent file requester that works in my games for that same reason.

have you manage to get it work?? I mean, you have been using MaxGui or ?? This is really annoying..

no, I am using my own Gui and system commands from a file posted by Skin3[ac] that is in the code archives. I have it working in my tile map editor here if you want to take a look at it:

Why not spin of the file requester in a different thread?
