If your dialog run with gtk_dialog_run(). Then you must not to hide
your dialog if no file selected. My code for this:

const gchar *path;
// Create GtkFileSelection and set all properties
GtkWidget *OpenDlg = create_FileSelectionDialog();
do {
        // Wait for dialog close
        if (gtk_dialog_run(GTK_DIALOG(OpenDlg)) != GTK_RESPONSE_OK) {
                // Exit if Cancel or so pressed
                gtk_widget_destroy(GTK_WIDGET(OpenDlg));
                return;
        }
        // Retrieve the path
        path = gtk_file_selection_get_filename (GTK_FILE_SELECTION (OpenDlg));
// Test is returned filename a regular file
} while (!(g_file_test(path,G_FILE_TEST_EXISTS) && g_file_test(path,G_FILE_TEST_IS_REGULAR)));
// Get filename from full path
gchar *filename = g_path_get_basename(path);

...

g_free(filename);
// !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Destroy dialog only here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
gtk_widget_destroy(GTK_WIDGET(OpenDlg));
