funny, it's the only OpenGL example I can't run: program freezes while showing the Openfile dialog. Tried this workaround:

Dialog.Title = ("Select a PDF file")
Dialog.Filter = ["*.pdf", ("PDF files")]
  'If Dialog.OpenFile() Then Return   ' FREEZES HERE
  'workaround (its a valid path)
 sPath = User.home &/ "CIRSOC tablas de perfiles.pdf" 'Dialog.Path 
 txtPath.Text = sPath

but only shows a rotating cube with the gambas logo.

I meant using another control inside (or on top) the GLArea, like a label or something. But it doesn't work, it only shows the contents of the GLArea.
