I'm creating a map editor for my next game using DirectDraw full screen mode. I need to call some Win32 functions like MessageBoxes, GetOpenFileName etc..., for information. The problem is that sometimes the dialogs don't appear on the screen. Is there any 'trick', to make MessageBox and Dialogs always appear on a DD fullscreen application ?

Thanks,

Gustavo Muller

Hint: use the FlipToGDISurface function.
