(1888PressRelease)
November 17, 2006 - Sky Software is pleased to announce the release of 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. Shell MegaPack.Net is written in 100% managed code for speed and efficiency and completely supports a variety of IDEs and tools including Visual Studio 2005/.Net 2.0. 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.
The new version offers a substantial improvement in speed and efficiency and vastly improved support for a variety of IDEs and tools including complete support for Visual Studio 2005/.Net 2.0. The new version brings plenty of new features and functionality, new properties, methods and events and some bugfixes.
