If you don't mind to have a short display in the middle (ugly) followed with
the dialog
in the position that you want, you can do this:
...
TOpenDialog* OpenDialog1;
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
__fastcall TForm1::TForm1(TComponent* Owner)
        : TForm(Owner)
{
     //CREATE OPENDIALOG
    OpenDialog1  = new TOpenDialog(this);
    OpenDialog1->OnSelectionChange = OpenDialog1SelectionChange;
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-

void __fastcall TForm1::BitBtn1Click(TObject *Sender)
{

    OpenDialog1->FileName = "doc.c";

    if (OpenDialog1->Execute())
    {
         // Place your code here
    }
}

void __fastcall TForm1::OpenDialog1SelectionChange(TObject *Sender)
{
    MoveWindow(
        FindWindow(NULL, "Open"), // handle of window
        0, // horizontal position
        0, // vertical position
        800, // width
        300, // height
        true  // rep
    );
}
