The referenced theSwamp.org thread is a dotNet application using a palette and an explorer tree control.  I've wanted to do something like this for a while but no "explorer" type control exists. (no, the browser control doesn't have the required events to make it useful.)

Anyone else intersted?  Owen; possibility?

just a thought . . ..

Possible of course, but what advantages would a built in control have over a lisp based one?  BTW, the directory dropdown style already uses an explorer type tree control internally.

I agree James,

I was working on a project a few months ago where I wanted quick access to an bare explorer tree control to return a folder.  I tried to create one through lisp (and was some what successful), but it was slow loading, especially with large network drives.  Here is some of the code. (Stripped down)

Hmmm I've used the Tree for years, and it's worked fine....

Do you have an example of a file browser type tree control?  (Something like I posted)?

Thanks

Hi Tim, is that close to what you're looking for?

Yeah that is the functionality I am looking for.
