Interact with the Windows shell and/or any custom folder hierarchy

Actipro Shell controls allow for easy folder and file browsing. While the product comes packed with a pre-built implementation for the Windows shell that mimics Windows Explorer, the controls are fully customizable, allowing you to filter or change the folders/files presented. Or build your own shell service to support other files systems, such as the remote side for a FTP client.

All of the UI found in the Shell controls is native WPF, even the context menus. Unlike competitive products with interop-based user interfaces, the Actipro Shell controls don't have any airspace or focus issues, and every bit of UI can be fully-themed or even customized with XAML data templates.

• ShellTreeListBox presents a shell folder hierarchy in a tree structure
• ShellListView shows the contents of a selected folder using column-based property display
• Both controls support customizable tool tips, context menus, multiple image sizes that account for high-DPI scenarios, and in-line renaming

Features

• **Usage: **ShellTreeListBox can be used standalone to build 'Browse for Folder' dialogs or can be paired with other shell controls to build a robust folder browser UI.
• **Context Menus: **Fully-themed default context menus are available for each shell object that mimic the results found in Windows Explorer.
• **Root Folder: **The root tree folder can be easily set to a special Windows folder via an enum value, or to any system path.
• **Inline Renaming: **Rename shell objects inline by pressing F2. A textbox will appear allowing the end user to type in a new name for the shell object.
