IShellBrowser
The IShellBrowser interface provides services for namespace extensions and is the companion to
the IShellView interface implemented by namespace extensions.. It is similar to the "site"
interfaces that are often found in OLE hosting scenarios, such as IOleControl and IOleControlSite. This allows the extension to communicate with the host of the namespace,
providing UI elements like menus, status text, and tool bars. This interface also
provides the extension with a way to access storage to save its persistent view
state.
IShellBrowser derives from IOleWindow and it represents the container's top-level window, allowing the contained
views to insert their menus into the composite menu, install the composite menu
into the appropriate window frame and remove the container's menu elements from
the composite menu. It sets and displays status text relevant to the in-place
object. It also enables or disables the frame's modeless dialog boxes, and
translates accelerator keystrokes intended for the container's frame.
When to Implement
You do not implement this interface directly. IShellBrowser is implemented by the Windows Explorer and by the Windows File Open Dialog.
When to Use
When implementing a namespace extension, notably IShellView, you will use the IShellBrowser implementation that is passed to use IShellBrowser::CreateViewWindow to communicate with the Explorer.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
