I want to make a file selector like this, but i don't find any suite func doing with it.
is that "PF_OutFlag_I_DO_DIALOG" related?
Any starting point to achieve this goal will be appreciate.

It's most definitely a custom dialog and the actual data is being transfered as some other structure not within the dialog loop.

Easiest way is to use a javascript prompt.

Take a look at this discussion:

You can suppress UI updates within the custom UI call, which is the default behavior, anyway, I believe.
