How can I create a 'Open file..' Dialog, so a user can select a file, and my script kan get the full path.

I'm sure it can be done with Interop, but which DLL do I have to use, and which function?

And how can I get the full path then?

Me to, I would like to know how this is done. I want to get the path to an EXE.

please read Browse For File
