Is there a directorylist Win95-style for Delphi 3?

I've been looking allover for this, and I'm surprised no one else seems to
be looking for it. I would like to have a compenent(s) that lists the
directories and files windows 95 style. I simply want components that work
just like the controls in the standard OpenDialog and SaveDialog. This
includes the combobox with the directory outline and the list of directories
and files that can be shown as a list, detailed list and so on.

I don't understand why only the win3 style directorylists/filelists are
included in Delphi 3. Am I missing something? Please help me.

I've been looking for it too. Unfortunately it is not included in the Common
Dialogs. One should have to build it himself. Since everyone has something
better to do, noone bothers!
Tough luck...

Use the WINAPI function GetOpenFileName function
this will give you exactly what you want. If you
were really motivated you could encapsulate the
API call into a Delphi Component.

Good Luck,

Yes I've written one, but it's not quite finished properly so I'm not going
to distribute it yet. Anyone who is interested can send me an email and I'll
tell them more when I'm ready to distribute.

How about the OpenDialog component? You could also use
SHBrowseForFolder. Or my component (mail me if you need it). My
component - TShellTreeView - is a tree view like the left pane of the
Windows Explorer (even with context menus).

Hey guys,

    I found one a while back that seemed to work pretty well at the time.
Here's the URL
http://www.aye.net/~bstowers/delphi/
The componet name is TExtListView.

I am currently using this component as well, but I do not know how to
get the registered file types into the ExtListView control. I am using
D3 on NT4.

Thanks for any help you can give,
