Shell MegaPack.Net 8.0 recreates the entire Windows Explorer shell browsing UI functionality in your app in just a couple of seconds. It provides a familiar yet powerful file/folder browsing UI right inside your own forms and dialogs and is a perfect replacement for the plain, inflexible, modal APIs which UI developers are currently limited to. Consisting of a folder tree control, a file/folder list control and a drive-selection control, it mimics every Windows Explorer UI feature including Thumbnail/Details/Group Views, dragdrop, icons, context menus, virtual items, infotips and renaming. Its powerful behavior control and customization functionality takes it miles ahead of Windows Explorer by adding features like item filtering, item checkboxes, custom items, custom columns and customization of context menus, dragdrop, appearance, display names, icons, overlay icons and infotips. Also included is ShellObjects - a set of controls which bring various shell features to your app included the ability to display multiple MSN/Office2003 style popups, create quick launch-like appbars, animated tray icons and create and read shortcuts and internet shortcuts.
