Use of FileDialogWindow : getting the result
Hi ! I'm trying to fit a GUI in full screen mode, that uses a FileDialogWindow at some point. I'm able to recover the answer from FileDialogWindow when I it is opened modaly. However, since I would like to open it fullscreen with the selector #openFullScreen, the calling block does not wait and immediatly gets a nil answer. I was thinking of hacking my way out of it and subclassing FileDialogWindow to overide a method somewhere to call a block of my choosing but I really does not feel right. Has anyone a clue ? Thanks in advance for your time ! Thomas.
Okey so I only needed to select a directory and needed to shrink the size of the widget anyway. So I opted for the sublass solution, got rid of the file pane and added an action block on the #ok method. 2014-04-07 16:12 GMT+02:00 Thomas Bany <mun.sysdev@gmail.com>:

Why do you need a dialog window in fullscreen size, if it is modal anyway ? Have you tried FileList (it isn't fullscreen, and doesn't look as nice as the FileDialogWindow, but maybe it is easier to hack around with.) FileList modalFolderSelector: FileSystem disk workingDirectory regards nicolai

Actualy, I need it to be fullscreen. I mentioned a dialog window because I was only able to retrieve the answer this way but I don't want a dialog window :)

Well I think it looks better than my shrank version, I will look into it !
