(1888PressRelease)
November 28, 2006 - Shell MegaPack ActiveX 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 feature including Thumbnail/Details/GroupView styles, 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 useful 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. Shell MegaPack has a royalty-free redistribution license; it has no external dependencies which allows ease of redistribution and it comes with comprehensive documentation and numerous samples to quickly get you started.
Shell MegaPack is available in ActiveX as well as .Net versions. The ActiveX version is compatible with a wide variety of developing environments including Microsoft Visual Basic, Microsoft Visual C++ MFC and ATL apps, Microsoft Office VBA, Borland Delphi and Borland C++ Builder.
