Drop-In Windows Explorer File/Folder Browsing Control

The FileView Control allows you to add a Windows Explorer like listview to your application, showing all the files and folders in the system exactly as Windows Explorer does. It mimics all aspects of the filelist used by Windows Explorer, right from Thumbnail, Details and Group View, displaytexts, icons and overlayicons to contextmenus, dragdrop, AutoUpdate, infotips, renaming, virtual folders and much more.

Create a Windows Explorer clone in minutes !

When combined with FolderView and ShComboBox, you can recreate an entire Windows Explorer Shell Browsing GUI right inside your dialogs and forms.

Stop Using Inflexible, Modal APIs and Classes

The UI provided by SHBrowseForFolder, FolderBrowserDialog, OpenFileDialog, SaveFileDialog, CFileDialog and such are a diversion which users of your software don't need. Instead, a non-modal shell browsing experience right inside your own dialogs and forms is something that your users will find standard, intuitive and simple yet extremely powerful.

Powerful, extensible and customizable

Change, control and customize existing behavior and functionality using a simple but powerful set of properties, methods and events.
