Hi all,
I have got this far till now -

import win32gui, struct, array, string

OFN_ALLOWMULTISELECT=0x00000200
OFN_EXPLORER=0x00080000

def arrayToStrings(resultArray):
    """return list-of-strings corresponding to a char array,
       where each string is terminated by \000, and the whole
       list by two adjacent \000 bytes
    """
    astr=resultArray.tostring()
    manyStrings=[]
    # perhaps a loop of string.split would be faster...
    while len(astr) and astr[0]!='\000':
        i=astr.index('\000')
        manyStrings.append(astr[:i])
        astr=astr[i+1:]
    return manyStrings

def szFrom(anarray):
    """return the string-pointer (sz) corresponding to a char
       array, 0 (null pointer) if no array
    """
    if anarray: return anarray.buffer_info()[0]
    else: return 0

def arrayFrom(astring,additional=0):
    """return a char array built from a string, plus 0
       or more \000 bytes as filler
    """
    if not astring: astring=''
    return array.array('c',astring+additional*'\000')

def arrayMulti(stringlist):
    """return a char array built from many strings, each
       separated by a \000 byte, and two \000's at the end

    return arrayFrom(string.join(stringlist,'\000'),2)

def buildOfn(resultarray,filters=None,initdir=None,title=None,
             multisel=1,oldlook=0):

    resultBuffer=arrayFrom(initfile,8192)

    return arrayToStrings(resultBuffer)

def _test():
    return openNames(
        filters=('Texts and scripts','*.txt;*.py','Py stuff','*.py*')
    )

if __name__=='__main__':
    print _test()

But hear the Dialogue_box stops and waits for the user to select a
file. But Since I have the entire path of the file, How do I pass it to
the file name to populate the box automatically instead of the user
manually selecting a file.

Any further help will be appreciated.
