{
	OPENFILENAME ofn;
	//ofn.hwndOwner=win_get_window();   BAD
	memset(&ofn,0,sizeof(ofn));
	ofn.lStructSize=sizeof(OPENFILENAME);
	ofn.hwndOwner=win_get_window();   //GOOD
	char szFile[260]="";
	ofn.nMaxFile=sizeof(szFile);
	ofn.lpstrFile=szFile;
	ofn.lpstrFilter="Bitmaps\0*.bmp\0All Files\0*.*\0\0";
