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

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)?
Thank you for helping.
