Drop-In Windows Explorer Folder Browsing Control

The FolderView Control brings a Windows Explorer like folder treeview control to your applications complete with AutoUpdate, dragdrop, icons, contextmenus, non-filesystem items, default key-handling, infotips and renaming. It features powerful behavior control and customization functionality that takes it miles ahead of Windows Explorer by adding features like filtering, checkboxes, custom items, multiple root nodes, dragdrop control and customization of default contextmenus, displaynames, icons and infotips.

Create a Windows Explorer clone in minutes !

When combined with FileView 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.
