Creating Menu with Open option

[xXx 0]

the code:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$filemenu = GuiCtrlCreateMenu ("File")
$fileitem = GuiCtrlCreateMenuitem ("Open...",$filemenu)
$recentfilesmenu = GuiCtrlCreateMenu ("Recent Files",$filemenu)
$separator1 = GuiCtrlCreateMenuitem ("",$filemenu)
$exititem = GuiCtrlCreateMenuitem ("Exit",$filemenu)
$helpmenu = GuiCtrlCreateMenu ("?")
$aboutitem = GuiCtrlCreateMenuitem ("About",$helpmenu)

$Form1 = GUICreate("TEST", 498, 303) 
GUISetState()


While 1
   $msg = GuiGetMsg()
   Select 
   Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE 
      ExitLoop 

Case $msg = $fileitem
    $file = FileOpenDialog("Choose file...",@TempDir,"All (*.*)")

Case $msg = $exititem
    ExitLoop

Case $msg = $aboutitem
    Msgbox(0,"About","GUI Menu Test")

Case Else
      ;;;;;;; 
   EndSelect 
WEnd

GUIDelete()

Exit

it is just an example and this should just create a simple GUI with a menu.

but instead of creating a GUI with a menu it creates one wihtout a menu and also forces to open a file (here from the menu: Open...)

i want to just have a menu and want that it opens the dialog "Choose file...." only if i press in the menu "Open..."

what do i need to change to get it working?
