File browsing dialog box

[timmay3141]

In C++, is there any Windows API dialog box for file browsing (like when you need open a file) that is already pre-defined? Or do you have to create one yourself for all of your programs? The browsing dialog boxes from quite a few different applications seem to be the same, so I was wondering if you could simply call a function to bring it up.

GetOpenFileName is what you need.

Look here for more info, it also has the example

Have you tried GetOpenFileName?

Good Luck
