I think you're looking for APIIo_SettingsDialogID.

Yes, that's exactly what i want but, there's a way to open the object directly from the windows browser? I show it in the picture. Thank you again!

Perhaps DGGetOpenFile?

Could be, but I have included "DG.h" and "Location.hpp" and the compiler does not recognize 'DGGetOpenFile'.

IO::Location loc1 ("C:/Users/User/Desktop/Objetos Junkers");
DGGetOpenFile(&loc1);


Something wrong?

The file you need to include is DGFileDlg.hpp

Now, there is no errors with the compiler but, the "normal" open dialog is opened. What i want to open is a library object open dialog, so i can't use DGGetOpenFile. Which is the function should i use? Thank you.

Can you post a screen grab of the dialog you want to invoke?

Isn't that a standard 'open' dialog?
