VB Filebrowser Control

Hello

I need a Control that has the functionallity of an File Explorer in Windows. It should automatically display the file structure the mapped network drives,... and a control that displays the file in the folders (like the right side of the File Explorer). It would be best if it is a VB6 Project, but also a OCX standalone would be nice. Best if its freeware :-)

thanx, regards

Go to Project Menu -> Components
and from there add Microsoft Common Dialoge control

and use

CommonDialog1.ShowOpen
MsgBox CommonDialog1.FileName

here are some useful links
