Hi,

BOOL GetOpenFileName(
  LPOPENFILENAME lpofn   // initialization data
);

Look in MSDN for details.

You could use SHBrowseForFolder

char         szExtBuffer[MAX_PATH] = "";
OPENFILENAME ofn;

strcpy(szExtBuffer, "*.txt; *.log");

ofn.lStructSize       = sizeof(ofn);
ofn.hwndOwner         = 0;
ofn.hInstance         = 0;
ofn.lpstrFilter       = 0;
ofn.lpstrCustomFilter = 0;
ofn.nMaxCustFilter    = 0;
ofn.nFilterIndex      = 0;
ofn.lpstrFile         = szExtBuffer;
ofn.nMaxFile          = MAX_PATH;
ofn.lpstrFileTitle    = 0;
ofn.nMaxFileTitle     = 0;
ofn.lpstrInitialDir   = 0;
ofn.lpstrTitle        = "Open file";
ofn.Flags             = 0;
ofn.nFileOffset       = 0;
ofn.nFileExtension    = 0;

ofn.lCustData         = 0;
ofn.lpfnHook          = 0;
ofn.lpTemplateName    = 0;

// Open dialog
if(::GetOpenFileName(&ofn) == FALSE)
  // Cancel pressed
