I need to switch from fullscreen to window mode so that I can use the file_dialog command however when I try:
video_switch(0,0,2);
char* filename = file_dialog("Load Saved Game","*.ssv");
video_switch(0,0,1);
I get a DirectX driver error. How can I solve this?
Is there a way how to use the file_dialog in fullscreen?
Or how can I switch to window mode and back without this error. I tried using the freeze_mode = 2; before and after freeze_mode = 0; but the error still occured.

I use window switching a lot in my project and I used to have a lot of issues. Sometimes when I tried to switch modes or resolutions, nothing happened, however I never had a video card throw an exception. If it helps, here is what I use in my current application and it works every time. Let me know if it helps, I guess I am waiting a lot longer than 1 frame, but rather 20 frames.
if(window_positions[16] == 7){
video_switch(7,0,2);
wait(20);
adjust_chat_window_startup();
str_cpy(strOptionResolution, "800 X 600");
}
if(window_positions[16] == 8){
video_switch(8,0,1);
wait(20);
adjust_chat_window_startup();
str_cpy(strOptionResolution, "1024 X 768");
}
if(window_positions[16] == 88){
video_switch(8,0,2);
wait(20);
adjust_chat_window_startup();
str_cpy(strOptionResolution, "1024 X 768");
}
if(window_positions[16] == 9){
video_switch(9,0,1);
wait(20);
adjust_chat_window_startup();
str_cpy(strOptionResolution, "1280 X 1024");
}
if(window_positions[16] == 10){
video_switch(10,0,1);
wait(20);
adjust_chat_window_startup();
str_cpy(strOptionResolution, "1400 X 1050");
}
if(window_positions[16] == 12){
video_switch(12,0,1);
wait(20);
adjust_chat_window_startup();
str_cpy(strOptionResolution, "1920 X 1080");
}

 But I also told You to try to put a wait before or after the video switch. Good to know your problem resolved  . Best regards.
