Hi,
Under Windows 10 and full screen mode the choose image screen opens behind the application.
This leads to user's confusion and it is needed to bring it in front by pressing the [ALT] + [TAB] key combination
Is there any way to change this behavior?

for me it works at windows 10 within full screen,agk goto window mode , i see the selector and after this it go into fullscreen, but i started it via key press.
maybe try with MinimizeApp() RestoreApp()

the problem is if the file dialog is open and then if the user click in the screen area around this dialog , this window get the focus and the dialog is behind

+ Code Snippet

rem
rem AGK Application 2.0.21
rem MR

#option_explicit

SetWindowSize(800,600,1)

SetVirtualResolution(100,100)

do

	if GetRawKeyPressed(65)
		print("A")
		SelectImage()
	endif
	
	if GetPointerPressed()
		exit
	endif
	
	Sync()
	
loop

end
                
function SelectImage()

	//MinimizeApp()

	local image as integer

    if ShowChooseImageScreen()=1 //Ok

     while IsChoosingImage()=1 //Dialog is Open, Wait
       sync()
     endwhile

     image = GetChosenImage() //Get the image

    endif

	//RestoreApp()

endfunction image

Hi Markus and thank you for the code.
I run your example with and without minimize but the behavior on my system is the same: the dialog is going behind the application

Yes, I use 2.0.21
Although the MinimizeApp() works in the following simple example:

+ Code Snippet

rem
rem AGK Application 2.0.21
rem MR

#option_explicit

SetWindowSize(800,600,1)

SetVirtualResolution(100,100)

do

	if GetRawKeyPressed(65)
		MinimizeApp()
	endif
	if GetPointerPressed()
		exit
	endif
	Sync()
loop

end

it doesn't work if it is followed by the ShowChooseImageScreen() (see your code)
