Parameters

Parameter	Description
dialogview	FileOpen — The Open dialog box. The location parameter must specify the folder location. FileSave — The Save dialog box. The location parameter must specify the folder location. SaveForm — The Property form. To view the property form used when saving a file, the location parameter must specify the file in the document library. This view is rendered only if custom properties are added to the library, which by default are not included for document libraries in Windows SharePoint Services.
location	Specifies the site-relative URL of a document library or of a folder or file within a document library. If SaveForm is specified for dialogview, the URL for the location parameter must point to the file being saved. If the location parameter is passed without specifying a value, this method displays a view of all the document libraries in the site.
FileDialogFilterValue	Specifies the file name extension by which to filter the view in the file dialog box. For example, *.doc, *.txt, or *.htm.
