Author add file explorer to form

Hi
I am trying to add a panel to my windows form, and in it have basically
a windows explorer control, which will allow users to navigate to a
file that they want to use for input. I am able to add an
openFileDialog but I cannot find how to make the explorer a permanent
part of the form.

thanks

Hi

I probably have bad news for you .. but i don't think that's possiblr.
You'd have to override almost whole controls methods. It is a dialog
not a control ... sorry ;(

Fair enough, thanks for the help. I really didn't see a need for it
anyways, but the old Unix design had it and now that I am porting it to
windows I was asked to replicate it as exactly as possible.
