Using the three controls together

FileView can be used with ShComboBox and FolderView to create an entire Windows Explorer with custom functionality in your own application. Shown below is a simple application which uses the three controls together to give Windows Explorer functionality

Linking the three controls involves only two simple lines of code :

Consider a form or a dialog box where you have a FileView Control named fileVw, FolderView Control named fldrVw and a ShComboBox Control named shCmbBox.

Visual Basic

shCmbBox.FolderView = fldrvVw
fldrVw.FileView = fileVw

Visual C++

shCmbBox.SetFolderView((IDispatch*)fldrVw.GetControlUnknown()); fldrVw.SetFileView((IDispatch*)fileVw.GetControlUnknown());

Borland Delphi

shCmbBox.FolderView:=fldrvw.ControlInterface ;
fldrvw.FileView:=filevw.ControlInterface;

Borland C++ Builder

shCmbBox->FolderView = fldrVw->ControlInterface;
fldrVw->FileView = fileVw->ControlInterface;

Microsoft Access

shCmbBox.FolderView = fldrvVw.Object
fldrVw.FileView = fileVw.Object

Using FileView with FolderView only

Using FileView with FolderView requires just one line of code on your part. Just use the lower line of code shown above.

Using FileView with ShComboBox only

Using FileView with ShComboBox requires just one line of code on your part. The code required is given below.

Consider a form or a dialog box where you have a FileView Control named fileVw and a ShComboBox Control named shCmbBox.

Visual Basic

shCmbBox.FileView = fileVw

Visual C++

shCmbBox.SetFileView((IDispatch*)fileVw.GetControlUnknown());

Borland Delphi

shCmbBox.FileView:=filevw.ControlInterface ;

Borland C++ Builder

shCmbBox->FileView = fileVw->ControlInterface;

Microsoft Access

shCmbBox.FolderView = fldrvVw.Object
