I'm aware of the FolderBrowseDialog and FolderBrowseDialogEx. However in my opinion these are both inferior to the below type of dialog:

enter image description here

This is more in line with the open file dialog, and gives access to the navigation pane (or whatever it is on the left).

I've seen it in a few programs (shown below is TortoiseHG), which makes me suspect that it a semi off-the-shelf component, and I'm just curious whether one is freely available. Unfortunately google-fu fails me and all I can find is the FolderBrowseDialog/Ex - so my question is, is there a pre-rolled version of this dialog box (if not in the .NET framework then elsewhere) that I can use?

This is free and seems to provide customization options. Try this out.

  • Thank you. Looks like exactly what I was looking for. But now I'd be interested in how you managed to find this - for the sake of improving my google-fu for next time. – fostandy Mar 13 '14 at 07:30

    just keywords - When I saw your question thing I remembered was "windows 7 style" – Dexters Mar 13 '14 at 07:34
