Hello,

I have to kinda reproduce the Open/Save File Dialog.
I was wondering what class was used by these dialog to display all the
files/folders.
Would there be a way to have the same control in my application, with the
same
behaviour (double click opens a folder, rename ability, and so on...)

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello Stab,

Why not just use the OpenFileDialog and SaveFileDialog classes? These give you the complete dialog.

Well, the reason is that there is an issue with the stardard dialog
when the user tries to select more than 200 files (when the multiple
files selection is enabled of course)
This issue is known from microsoft :
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;820631
That's why I am trying to build my own open file dialog box.
