Doesn't look like a bug to me. Looks like SADE did that on purpose,
although I can't say why.

Errorcode:
22 -- Operation invalid when no dialog showing
Function or command can only be used when a dialog is being displayed.

I know that, but if people want to make a command-line like tool with @filedlg(), they need to have a dialog... That's the strange thing of it...

If ya create a dialog but don't show it, @filedlg() works fine. Wink

Because it's using the Windows API to call the file open dialog, which asks for a Parent Window handle. Thus it's using your main form's window handle as the parent (visible or not). SADE could have just checked if any form was created or not and set the window handle to 0 if no form existed.

Btw I personally don't think this is a bug so it really should not be posted in the 'bug reports' section. I have respectively moved the post.

Throws a can of non-carbonated cola at Mac's outdated Windows 95 computer and breaks it, then a can at Mac.

That'll teach you to mess with me. QUACK QUACK!
