    [2005] Shell32.FolderView control: The saga continues...

    I'm looking for a way to implement the FolderView control (the file list control used for folders, open, and save as windows) for a custom Open window I'm working on for my program. (No worries... though it is custom, it will fit most of the windows standards).

    I tried a trick I know which is to use a webbrowser control and set its url to a specific folder, but there's no way to filter the files shown (i.e. by extension).

    I need to maintain that windows look and want to also maintain the explorer look. I also want to maintain the special folders (i.e. network places). The icons should also use the correct associated icon (i.e. If a thumnail handler is installed, show the thumbnail in place of the icon.)

    I'm more interested in using the built in windows control (i.e. Shell32.FolderView) than a third party control (even if free). I can't figure out how to instanciate Shell32.FolderView as a control on the form.
