I do agree with scott and ratna. If you are trying to open a dialog in preview mode may be you have to revisit your requirements

Hi. thanks for your reply. But we need to open the dialog in content page on click of the button in preview mode. May be there must be some method for toch Ui like we have in classic mode we use below method.

CQ.wcm.EditBase.showDialog(editRollOver, CQ.wcm.EditBase.EDIT);

To see use of a PathFinder granite data type (granite/ui/components/foundation/form/pathbrowser) in a component dialog - see this article:

Are you referring to a component dialog? A component dialog that contains a path finder is typically opened when an author hovers over a component in Design mode in the Author instance. There is no need to have a button to open a component dialog.
