[AccessD] VB6: Using the Webbrowser control to view files-Thumbnail view?

Hi Christopher:

Yes there is:

Option Explicit

Public Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" _
    Alias "ShellExecuteA" _
   (ByVal hwnd As Long, _
    ByVal lpOperation As String, _
    ByVal lpFile As String, _
    ByVal lpParameters As String, _
    ByVal lpDirectory As String, _
    ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long

Public Const SW_SHOWNORMAL = 1


Private Sub frmButton01_Click()

    Call ShellExecute(0&, "Open", _
                      "explorer.exe", "/e,/n,c:\", _
                      0&, SW_SHOWNORMAL)

End Sub

Something like this would work.

HTH
Jim

OK, let me ask this, then:

Is there a way to embed Windows Explorer into a VB form?
