| Hi, I'm new to Blitzmax and I have been reading a lot of tutorials. I'm trying to create a data file reader to display a visual representation of the data from a text file. I think I figure out how to use the isostream, but I haven't found a way to do a file browsing dialog box. Is it possible to somehow use the common dialog controls in Windows via Blitzmax? Thanks for any advice you can give. -Patrick |

Yes, RequestFile and RequestDir are there for this.
' requestfile.bmx
filter$="Image Files:png,jpg,bmp;Text Files:txt;All Files:*"
filename$=RequestFile( "Select graphic file to open",filter$ )
Print filename
' requestdir.bmx
path$=RequestDir("Select a Folder",CurrentDir())
Print "directory selected was "+path

| Thank you! That's very useful. So far it seems that Blitzmax could do everything I need. |
