Could you explain a little bit more.

All I understand you want to have an "open with" dialog programmed into your c++ application. And that you do it by calling some entry from some dll in Windows.

But I don't understand what exactly you do in Windows, nor how you do it, nor what you want to accomplish.
And I doubt if it's clear to the average C++ programmer on a Mac (if they visit this forum, which is a doubtful).

I think there is a basic dialog project from the Sample folder. Look there.
