Explorer File List

Where does Explorer use a listbox? Did you mean listview or treeview?

Delphi 6 comes with ShellControls demo including TShellTreeView, TShellListView and TShellComboBox components.
None of these were included in Delphi 5.

And their listed under the "samples" tab too, as borland doesn't consider theme polished enough for "publication" - it has to do with the insanly inconsistent way that M$ implements their shell controls through various flavour of windows.  I don't remember what exatcly, but apparently there's some special circumstance where they may not work correctly, though It's never been a problem for me.  I know that there are similar vcls produced by 3rd party developers - many free ones too.  THis would be a good place to start looking: http://www.torry.net/filedrvbrowsers.htm .

inthe,
I am not even sure how to use it in my project

? you ask for a explorer listbox.
we assume you meant a listbox like that of windows explorer uses to display drives/files etc which is actually a listview as TOndrej  mentioned.

so i am confused as to what you mean when you say
"I am not even sure how to use it in my project "

you may be new to delphi i dunno so all i can say really is its a component that you can install into delphi then it will be on the component pallet under a tab called dfs so you can drop one onto your form..

I mean if you open up C:\Windows you will see a combination of files and folders with icons.  that is what I am after.

also how do I put it on t he component pallete?
