Author File Open Dialog

Hi All,

I am working on an application for Windows Mobile 5.0. I am using SmartPhone
emulator for debugging purposes. I need a FileOpen dialog for the user to
open files. When I use GetOpenFileName, I get a file explorer where files and
directories are displayed. Is there any way I can get a dialog similar to
what happens on Desktop applications? i.e., user can type too instead of
using mouse/keys? Do I have to write a custom dialog for this or
GetOpenFileName is the only option? What if user wants to enter a URL
instead? GetOpenFileName does not give any edit box for the user to type into.

Thanks
