How can I have an embeded windows explorer view of a paticular folder path in my very basic/simple gui? kinda like Windows Explorer does when you run "explorer.exe c:\windows". Only I want to embed that view into a gui.

I searched bu found maily a bunch of excel coms and media player coms.

thanks,

Something like this perhaps

#include<guiconstants.au3>
#include<WindowsConstants.au3>

;opt("WinTitleMatchMode",3)
$hGui1 = GUICreate("GUI Embedder",800,600,-1,-1,BitOr($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_GUI ,$WS_CLIPCHILDREN))
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
$Folder = "C:\Program Files"
ShellExecuteWait($Folder);Coverjuke\Coverjuke.exe")

;allow time for window to be created
;might be better to have winwait
sleep(1000)

;$Title = WinGetTitle($Folder)
$Handle = WinGetHandle($Folder)

WinMove($Handle, "", 0, 0, 600,600)
;Sleep(100)
$origParent = DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SetParent", "hwnd", $Handle, "hwnd",$hGui1)

While 1
    $nMSG = GUIGetMsg() 
    Switch $nMSG
    Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
      ;set child back To Original parent or it will be destroyed with ouyr window
        DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SetParent", "hwnd", $Handle, "hwnd", $origParent[0])
        Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Thanks for the reply. However when I run the above example it just opens a blank gui and a separate windows explorer window with said folder. I tried ajusting the sleep value but didnt make a difference. Is there any way of getting the folder window inside the gui? kinda like a wrapper maybe or something?

im using Vista SP1 with AutoIt v3.3.0.0

Thanks,

Whatyou get is all I meant to happen. If you don't want the window borders around the explorer window then if I understand you all you have to do is shift the child window

#include<guiconstants.au3>
#include<WindowsConstants.au3>

Const $SM_CXFIXEDFRAME = 7;, $SM_CXVSCROLL = 2,Const $SM_CYCAPTION = 4
;opt("WinTitleMatchMode",3)
Global $guiwid = 800, $guiht = 600
$hGui1 = GUICreate("GUI Embedder", $guiwid, $guiht, -1, -1, BitOR($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_GUI, $WS_CLIPCHILDREN))
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
$Folder = "C:\Program Files"
ShellExecuteWait($Folder)

WinWaitActive($Folder)

$Handle = WinGetHandle($Folder)
;get height of title bar and borders
$wtitle = DllCall('user32.dll', 'int', 'GetSystemMetrics', 'int', $SM_CYCAPTION)
$wtitle = $wtitle[0]
$wside = DllCall('user32.dll', 'int', 'GetSystemMetrics', 'int', $SM_CXFIXEDFRAME)
$wside = $wside[0]

WinMove($Handle, "", -$wside, -$wtitle - $wside, $guiwid + 2 * $wside, $guiht + $wtitle + $wside*2)

$origParent = DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SetParent", "hwnd", $Handle, "hwnd", $hGui1)


While 1
    $nMSG = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMSG
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
           ;set child back To Original parent or it will be destroyed with our window
            DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SetParent", "hwnd", $Handle, "hwnd", $origParent[0])
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

:P That's a lot better. Except that it doesn't get fully drawn when I try it. When it's first shown the left hand side isn't drawn and if I minimize it then restore it the left-hand side is shown but no folders are shown.

If you adjust your Windows Explorer Folder Options - select General, Tasks, "Use Windows classic folders" it will display OK, on WinXP anyway.

You're right, but I don't like it. :P
