How can I use the Office file open dialog to select a file for my AddIn?

[David Thielen]

Hi;

I want to use the Office FileOpen dialog because it can show
SharePoint documents. Is there a way to use that to select an XML data
file for our AddIn?

thanks - dave

Hello Dave,

We can call Office's Open File Dialog by using Application.Dialogs

Codes:
------------------------------
Word.Dialog dlg = Application.Dialogs[Word.WdWordDialog.wdDialogFileOpen];
object timeout = 0;
dlg.Show(ref timeout);
------------------------------

The corresponding document is available here,
