Further information

This is a convenience routine for displaying the standard Windows file selection dialog. Pass true as an argument to create an Open file dialog and false to create a Save file dialog. If the file selection was successful, the returned string contains the file name. If not, the function returns an empty string. The second form of the function allows use of filters based on the file extension.
