Reading Windows

We just started a development enviroment at work. It involves copying multiple files by hand and making multiple backups.

So I thought, why not write a program to do all this copying for us?

However, I am having problems Googling info about which .dlls give me "Open File" dialog boxes, "Save File", "Save File As..." etc. All I really need is a way for users to navigate to path names.

Does anybody know how to do this fairly simple procedure with .dll files or ActiveX? Even better, does anyone know of a good online reference?

Thanks,

Please contiune to vote AND post.

which .dlls give me "Open File" dialog boxes, "Save File", "Save File As..." etc.

You might want to look up GetOpenFileName, GetSaveFileName (both comdlg32.dll) and SHBrowseForFolder (shell32.dll). Those functions aren't exactly trivial, but basic use is easy (as in "most parameters can be NULL") and there are examples. Yell if you need help.
