This is the follow up project from the basic VBExplorer I posted in September 2001. VBExplorer2 is a functional Explorer type project using the TreeView and ListView controls. The Facilities programmed are an 'Up one Level', Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete, Properties, Refresh, Rename(using the edit label feature in the ListView control), Large icons, Small icons and List icons. All supporting controls are placed on a frame object and rendered invisible at run time. The frmFileOps Form is an added bonus and shows some techniques in producing a smooth animation illustrating a Move/Copy operation. It uses the
BitBlt API to animate a worm carrying a document in it's mouth between two computers. The code is surprisingly small. There's also a nice bit of code using a Label control that provides a movable bar between the TreeView and ListView controls letting you size the controls to your liking. Just place the cursor on the Bar and when the cursor changes to a West-East arrow Click-Hold-and-Drag to a new position. For further info see ReadMe2.txt.
