The main application window is all kinds of bells and whistles, among
which is a place to fill in a file name. The user has a "Browse" button,
which lets him open a file dialog. Common UI design is to make the
rest of the application inactive.
Since I'm not a UI designer (this is just a small application for me
and my coworkers to run an ugly command-line program), I'm happy to hear
both:
1. Answers to my original question
2. Explanations how to do it differently, because "I don't want to do
that"
Thanks a lot!
