I believe you are looking for the GetOpenFileName.

This has been superceded by the Common Item Dialog API. msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb776913(v=VS.85).aspx

Yeah, but IFileDialog on Vista/Win7.

I would recommend adding an example on how to use this function.

//make sure this is commented out in all code (usually stdafx.h) // #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN #include <windows.h> OPENFILENAME ofn; // common dialog box structure TCHAR szFile[260] = { 0 }; // if using TCHAR macros // Initialize OPENFILENAME ZeroMemory(&ofn, sizeof(ofn)); ofn.lStructSize = sizeof(ofn); ofn.hwndOwner = hWnd; ofn.lpstrFile = szFile; ofn.nMaxFile = sizeof(szFile); ofn.lpstrFilter = _T("All\0*.*\0Text\0*.TXT\0"); ofn.nFilterIndex = 1; ofn.lpstrFileTitle = NULL; ofn.nMaxFileTitle = 0; ofn.lpstrInitialDir = NULL; ofn.Flags = OFN_PATHMUSTEXIST | OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST; if (GetOpenFileName(&ofn) == TRUE) { // use ofn.lpstrFile }
