Treat the file dialog exactly the way you would in a text editor or
word processor. Does your program continue as normal then? If not,
please be really specific - for instance:

"""I bring up the file dialog, and I click on a file and press OK. It
doesn't close the dialog like I would normally expect, and I have to
press Cancel to make the dialog close - but then it works like OK
ought to."""

Is that what's going on? (I have seen dialogs, and written some too,
with this exact bug. But I'd be very surprised if it's the case with a
standard file-open box.) If not, please be at least as detailed as the
above.
