Drop-In Windows Explorer-Like Drive Selection Control

The ShComboBox Control allows you to add a Windows Explorer like drive-selection combobox to your application, showing all the drives, folders and even files exactly as Windows Explorer does. It mimics all aspects of the combobox used by Windows Explorer, right from displaytexts, icons and overlayicons to virtual folders and much more. It also has an additional ability to show infotips and full path of FileSystem objects as tooltip text.


Create a Windows Explorer clone in minutes !

When combined with FolderView and FileView, 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.
