RequestFile() doesn't disable the window?

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax GUI Programming/RequestFile() doesn't disable the window?

I just noticed RequestFile() does not disable your program window when the file dialog is open. How long has this been going on like this? Do you need to manually disable all open windows before calling a file requester?

It has always been like this. I believe (not having access to BlitzMax at the moment) that RequestFile is part of BRL.System and was there before MaxGUI. So yes, you have to manually disable the windows.

There's a distinct lack of modality with MaxGUI.

That's fine, I just added an optional gadget parameter to my custom file requester in the module tweaks forum. I am surprised I never noticed this until now.
