Function ProFileMdlfiletypeOpen


Description
Prompts the standard file browser interface of Creo Parametric. Note: In Creo 3 this function does not support names longer than 80 characters. It will return PRO_TK_BAD_INPUTS for longer names. The support for ProMdlFileName will be added in a future release.
This function cannot be used for NX models in the current release.
