case WM\_COMMAND:
		switch(wParam)
		{
			case IDOK:
			    EndDialog(hWndDlg, 0);
				return TRUE;

			case IDCANCEL:
				EndDialog(hWndDlg, 0);
				return TRUE;

In your menu in the Resources window you will have specified a value for the menu item File>Open. You can find this value in the properties window (View->Other Windows->Properties Window) and click on the Open item in the file menu in the resource editor. The value will also be #define'd in the Resource.h file, so be sure to #include "Resource.h"
