Shell MegaPack Controls in Action in an App
This is the first major release of 2008 and features multiple FolderView root nodes, multithreaded FileView thumbnail extraction, Vista look and feel, much improved AutoUpdate and dragdrop functionality, many new properties, methods and events, and many other additional features. V2008 also features complete support for Visual Studio 2008 and Windows Vista. Shell MegaPack is available for immediate download at their website at Shell MegaPack.
With Shell MegaPack, LogicNP Software has filled a long standing requirement of application developers. Developers no longer need to be content with unattractive user interfaces or inconvenient modal dialogs. Mike Gunderloy of Lark Group Inc, lead developer for Larkware and author of numerous books and articles on programming topics, has reviewed Shell MegaPack and praised it for its features, extensibility and ease of use.
Gunderloy wrote, "If your application needs a Windows Explorer UI, in some more sophisticated form than a 'File Open' dialog box, it looks like Shell MegaPack could save you a bundle of time and frustration."
"LogicNP Software has taken the nuisance of the Explorer UI and wrapped it up into three custom controls with sensible APIs," Gunderloy added. Shell MegaPack has also been featured and reviewed in the prestigious MSDN Magazine.
The components and controls in Shell MegaPack mimic advanced Windows Explorer features including thumbnail, details and group views, dragdrop, icons, context menus, virtual items, infotips and renaming. They feature powerful behavior control and customization functionality like item filtering, multi-state checkboxes, custom items, custom columns and customization of context menus, dragdrop, appearance, display names, icons, overlay icons and infotips. Also included is ShellObjects, a set of controls and components which provide the following functionality:
- ShellAppBar: Convert your forms to Quick Launch-like appbars - with complete autohide and drag-docking functionality and multi-monitor support.
