Give your Delphi and C++Builder applications Windows Explorer functionality with the Shell Control Pack. Simply place four components on a form, set two properties and you have a working Explorer! These powerful shell components include tree view, list view, combo box, bonus splitter and generally enhanced tree and list controls. Full access is available to context menus, renaming/deleting, copy/paste, namespace extensions and much more.

Add features to any application with the two-way splitter, image/indent combo box and enhanced panels. Enhanced list view and tree view controls support different fonts, colors and context menus for individual items.

Every application can benefit by replacing the limited and inflexible Windows common file dialogs. Microsoft did just that with Office 95 and 97. Now you too can liberate your program from the constraints of the common dialogs with 100% Delphi forms that look and act just like the system ones, only better! With extra functionality such as a resizable frame, tree view, and no three-character limit on file extensions, these components are useful in any application. And because they are Delphi forms, you can customize them directly or with visual form inheritance to add your own features like file previewing.

Internationalisation is fully supported, with translations provided for 16 languages - Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Spanish and Swedish.

The powerful components contained in the Shell Control Pack will give your software product distinguishing features that make your application stand out from the crowd. Get the Shell Control Pack today!

Naturally the Shell Control Pack comes with full help for integration into the Delphi or C++ Builder help system.

Reviews and Awards

The Developers Review magazine featured the Shell Control Pack in their December 1998 issue and technical editor Dave Jewell said:

"So am I impressed? Yes, very much so. When Microsoft's common dialog components run out of steam the SCP components will almost certainly come to the rescue..." (December 1998)

ZDNet awarded the Shell Control Pack 5 stars.

The Bits has awarded the Shell Control Pack both the Golden Bit and Green Bit awards.

  Golden Bits are thus awarded to components or collections of the highest quality... If a component gets this award, we're really saying, "this should have been in the box from the start!".
  The Green Bit, represents great value for money. A component receiving this award will be one where, at the price it's offered, you'd be ill advised not to get it, especially if you're a commercial developer.

Delphi3.com awarded the Shell Control Pack component of the month.
