Question

I’m trying to roll my own implementation of IShellBrowser because I need to have a more full-featured File Open and Save As dialog than Windows allows that is compatible with XP (and ideally with W2000)*

At this point I need to add the standard toolbar that you see in upper right of the dialog (manifest styles for XP and earlier) – a back button, a parent-folder button, a new folder button, and a “tools” drop down.

But so far I’ve been unsuccessful in finding these icons / images. I’ve looked in USER32.dll, comdlg32.dll, comctl32.dll, but haven’t found anything that quite matches.

I could simply take screen shots of an application where I can find them – but it would possibly more useful to know where they come from, so I can access the various versions of these buttons (high rez, low rez, shallow color, deep color, etc.).

Any ideas?

[Edit: I need it to be compatible with Vista & Windows 7 also. Its just that starting with Vista, they broke the old common dialog model, and their new model is brain-damaged IMO – I no longer have enough access to the state of the dialog to perform the necessary duties that our dialogs used to do – so we are forced to approach the problem from another angle]

Answer 1

Try shell32.dll, in Windows\System32.
