C++ WinAPI save and open dialogues

How do I implement a save and load dialogue box into my current project? I only need to know how change the basics, like the filename mask and default path.

Any help appreciated, or even a link to a helpful website.

Thanks.

TheForger's WinAPI tutorial is the best IMHO and the part I linked also answers your question.

In WinAPI, the save and open dialogs are created by the functions GetSaveFileName() and GetOpenFileName(). The parameters of the dialog, such as the file name filter is stored in an OPENFILENAME struct.
