Christian,

    First you need to fill an OPENFILENAME structure eg.

                    OPENFILENAME ofn;
                    char szFileName[MAX_PATH];

                    ZeroMemory(&ofn, sizeof(ofn));
                    szFileName[0] = 0;

                    ofn.lStructSize = sizeof(ofn);
                    ofn.hwndOwner = hwnd;
                    ofn.lpstrFilter = "Bitmap Files (*.bmp)\0*.bmp\0All
Files (*.*)\0*.*\0\0";  /* Filters seperated by null */
                    ofn.lpstrFile = szFileName;
/* File Name holder */
                    ofn.nMaxFile = MAX_PATH;
                    ofn.Flags = OFN_EXPLORER | OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST |
OFN_HIDEREADONLY ;
                    ofn.lpstrDefExt = "bmp";

    Then call it using GetOpenFileName(&ofn)

    szFileName will contain the full path and filename if the user selected
a file and OK.
