file selector in windows application

reunion

Hi there!

After spending almost 2 hour browsing the net searching for
anything that wold solve my problem I decided to ask big
brains for help. ;o)

Anyone can help me with these windows dialogs? I need to put
a simple file requester into my program.

I believe it's easy. But I've just started. I will thankfuly
accept any ideas or suggestions.

And if that doesn't help, try this code out:
[code]
char filebuffer[256];
OPENFILENAME ofn;

ofn.lStructSize = sizeof(OPENFILENAME);
ofn.hwndOwner = ParenthWnd; //Parent window handle!
ofn.lpstrFilter = "Text Files*.TXTAll Files*.*";
ofn.nFilterIndex = 1;
ofn.lpstrFile = filebuffer;
ofn.nMaxFile = sizeof(filebuffer);
ofn.lpstrInitialDir = "C:\Windows";
ofn.lpstrTitle = "My Open Dialog!";
ofn.Flags = OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST | OFN_HIDEREADONLY | OFN_NOCHANGEDIR | OFN_NONETWORKBUTTON | OFN_PATHMUSTEXIST;

if(GetOpenFileName(&ofn) == NULL)
{
//Handle CANCEL or errors here
}

//Now filbuffer contains the full drive, path, and filename of the file you selected!
[/code]
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
