Dear Jimbo,
Unfortunately I got no answer to this problem so I decided to put the instructions in user manual for the program I am writing...not the best solution, but I cannot think of anything better. If you find out how to solve this in a better way, please share the knowledge. Best Miki From: jimbo616 [via R] [mailto:ml-node+s789695n4673676...@n4.nabble.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2013 10:04 PM To: mmiikkii Subject: Re: Bringing tk_choose.files to front I have this same problem-- the file browser window opens behind RStudio with no indication to the user that it is there. Did you ever find a solution to make it open as a top level window in front of RStudio? mmiikkii wrote I want to make a script in R (I use RStudio if it matters) in which the user chooses the initial data file interactively using tk_choose.files the code goes like this: -------- library(tcltk) library(foreign) fname1<-tk_choose.files(default = "", caption = "Choose original file",multi = FALSE, filters = NULL, index = 1) x1<-read.spss(fname1, use.value.labels=FALSE, to.data.frame=TRUE, use.missings=FALSE) --------- however, it pops out a new window behind the RStudio window. How can I make it pop out as top level window (in front of everything)?
