Folder Browser Control

When All You Want To Do is Select a Folder

The Folder Browser Control by Bit Debris Solutions provides an interface for selecting a folder to the user of your program.  The Folder Browser Control implements a common feel of the Windows interface, a hierarchical tree structure representing the local and network file system, similar to the one found in the Windows Explorer.  The Folder Browser Control acts as a drop-in replacement for the Common Dialog control when all you want to do is to select a folder.

Using the Folder Browser Control inside your applications couldn’t be easier.  All you do is drop the control onto a form in your project, give the control a name, set the control title, default folder location, and owner handle, then call the Show method.  When your application user closes the control by either the clicking OK or Cancel button, the new folder that was navigated to can be referenced.  It is that simple.

Registering this product gives you many benefits, such as being able to distribute this control with your applications royalty free, product support, and free upgrades.
