I have various hierarchical structures and would like to allow navigation around then using an editor like the Microsoft one found in the explorer address bar below. Is there such a Delphi component? (Paid for or free)?

1@Andreas - isn't that address bar hidden in some shell interface ? It would be easist way to implement it. – Jun 02 '11 at 10:31

@daemon_x: Very good point. Still, not as fun as writing your own, which I am currently working on. – Andreas Rejbrand Jun 02 '11 at 10:32

Haven't tried by myself but Roy Klever's PathViewer component looks quite interesting.

I have spent the morning writing such a control. Actually, I wrote a very generic, completely virtual base control, from which I later derived a directory browser control:
The source code is published here
Here are some images:
Style := bbsClassic
Style := bbsFlat
Style := bbsHeader
Style := bbsThemed
Style := bbsCommand

2+1 Andreas, great work, maybe is better, if you publish your code in the code google hosting site. – RRUZ Jun 02 '11 at 16:43

1Also, I've only just realised that the little arrows drop down a menu in Windows. I've only ever clicked on the word.... – Brian Frost Jun 03 '11 at 14:21

+10 For the effort, the time spent, the completeness of the implementation, and the generosity. -9 by SO ;) – NGLN Jun 04 '11 at 11:10

1Thank you, @NGLN, but really, I'm the real winner, because I think it is so fun to write visual controls! – Andreas Rejbrand Jun 04 '11 at 12:03

@AndreasRejbrand I'd very much like to try on BCB2009 but I seem to have difficulties compiling the component. [ILINK32 Error] Error: Unresolved external 'PathCanonicalizeW' referenced from ... Is mentioned code your latest version ? – Peter Sep 10 '15 at 12:44

How about a overview page for your various components? I know there are some, but I can't get from BreadcrumbBar to another one. – Uli Gerhardt May 17 '19 at 07:07

Not sure about anything exactly like that but the BergSoft Next Collection includes a path control similar to that (useful for breadcrumb trails and the like)
http://www.bergsoft.net/component/next-collection/overview.htm
It's free providing you don't want access to the source. Source is pretty cheap though and it's a one off cost that'll get you all future updates.
