Most applications have open/save features. When you click that option a window pops up, where you can select the file path and name of the file you want to load/save. How do you get this window? How does it work? I need to use this but I have no idea how to get it. Are there any articles on this maybe?

this link might be helpful. GetOpenFileName will open up the common open file dialog.
