General / Re: Enable user to open file

SFML can't do this as far as I know. However, on Windows you can use the Windows API to get what you want. The only downside is that it's not portable.

Thanks, that might come in handy. I'd rather not use win API but if I have to its not the end of the world.

I am actually working on a file selector window for Window (The OS, It's the one I use).

If you are using Window and you are interessed in my project, I could send you the source code (There is some bugs left, but it works pretty well)

If you could send it too me that would be great. I'll see if it works with what I'm doing.

General / Enable user to open file

« on: January 21, 2014, 09:25:30 pm »

I'm trying to write a program which involves the user selecting an audio file on their computer to open, the problem is I have no idea where to even begin on this. Is it possible in SFML to open the file explorer and have the user select a file that way, similar to the way someone would if they were opening a save word document? If not in sfml, is there another way to do this?
