ControlContext :: filePath - Provide a FileOpen dialog
The function provides a dialog that either opens an existing file or selects one for write actions. The text passed in sTitle will be displayed in the title bar of the dialog.
In order to initialize the file name area, a path (sFilePath) might be passed to the function. The string passed in sFileMask allows restricting the files to be displayed by a file mask. In order to create new files, true has to be passed in bWrite.
The function returns the file path for the file selected or an empty string, when the dialog has been canceled.
