So, rather than wrapping individual methods, as you seem to be suggesting above, rather transfer into pure Obj-C code for the entire task of handling the open or save dialog, passing in a structure of context information if you need to do something like configure the standard dialog or filter with delegate methods.

Good Advice for sure. I was thinking along this line:
