Windows Explorer API...

I am building a utility application that uses much of the same functionality as already exists in the Windows Explorer. It would therefore make sense to use (if possible) the Windows Explorer as the base component for my application. Since some of the treeview functionality of Windows Explorer is used in the folder browse dialog I make the assumption that this functionality is possibly exposed for use by developers who require the type of network and folder browsing functionality provided by Windows Explorer.

So my question is, is there an exposed API or namespace which I could use to access the network and folder browsing capabilities of Windows Explorer?

Many thanks
Steve

Hi Steve,

It is very easy to do, not an Api a complete component.
(You can also use shdocvw.dll however watch that than a lot of things as
documented are for the axwebbrowser and do not always work for shdocvw.dll
but for axshdocvw.dll and that is than the axwebbrowser)
