If I recall correctly, this is how it works. Your bar object should implement IObjectWithSiteand receive a site pointer. Query that for IServiceProvider, and call QueryService requesting IShellBrowser interface. That's your portal to everything else of interest. E.g. IShellBrowser::QueryActiveShellView to get the currently displayed view; IShellBrowser::BrowseObject to navigate to a different folder.

You sink `DWebBrowserEvents2` from shell browser, and handle `NavigateComplete2` event. See also: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3692836/api-hook-on-a-com-object-function – Igor Tandetnik Nov 04 '13 at 22:46

This event is fired when user enter new folder. But I need event when user select or deselect files in shell view window. Does (undocumented?) DShellNameSpaceEvents has any relation to the problem? – Denis Anisimov Nov 05 '13 at 03:28
