This is what I found: Enhance Your Apps with Common Dialogs: Part I

and this is the code I tried:

code:

break on

$dlg=CreateObject("MSComDlg.CommonDialog") 

"set title" ?
$dlg.DialogTitle = "Get me a File!" 

"set filter" ?
$dlg.Filter ="Documents|*.doc|Templates|*.dot|Text Files|*.txt" 
$dlg.FilterIndex=3

"show dialog" ?
$dlg.ShowOpen

;"returns" ?
$dlg.FileName ?

but nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?
