Shell MegaPack ActiveX recreates the entire Windows Explorer file & folder browsing UI functionality in your app in just a couple of seconds. Consisting of a folder tree control, a file/folder list control and a drive-selection control, it completely mimics the Windows Explorer UI including Thumbnail, Detail & Group View, dragdrop, icons, context menus, virtual items, infotips and renaming. Additionally, it features advanced functionality like item filtering, multiple-root nodes, checkboxes, custom items, custom columns and allows customization of context menus, dragdrop, appearance, display names, icons, overlay icons and infotips. It is a perfect replacement for the plain, inflexible, modal APIs which developers are currently limited to.

Also included is the ShellObjects set of components for creating quick launch-like appbars, displaying multiple MSN/Office2003 style popups, wizard UIs, animated tray icons, automatic form resizing, Vista-style task dialogs, system-wide hotkeys, task scheduler library, SingleInstanceComponent, shell file operations, system idle notifications and create and read shortcuts and internet shortcuts.

Shell MegaPack.Net is written in 100% C++; it fully supports Visual Studio 2008 and Vista; it has a royalty-free redistribution license; it has no external dependencies and it comes with comprehensive documentation and numerous samples.
