Hmm.
well on second thought, it does not work at all
now when i push the menu item "Open" all it does is closing the window
heres the code:

case ID_MENU_FILE_OPEN:
{

OPENFILENAME Ofn;
char szFileName[MAX_PATH];

szFileName[0]=0;

Ofn.lStructSize = sizeof(Ofn);
Ofn.hwndOwner = hWnd;
Ofn.lpstrFilter = "Map Files (*.Map)\0\0";
Ofn.lpstrFile = szFileName;
Ofn.nMaxFile = MAX_PATH;
Ofn.Flags = OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST|OFN_HIDEREADONLY|OFN_EXPLORER;
Ofn.lpstrDefExt = "Map";

GetOpenFileName(&Ofn);

}break;

any help is appriciated,as always

It's Important that you set your Instance (HINSTANCE) too!! I think that is the problem.
