embed means exactly what you want to do? What all have you tried? – Shekhar Jan 09 '12 at 09:44

embed means that the control is **in** the form1, and not shown as a popupdialog, I tried the folderview control from http://www.ssware.com/megapack, this is exactly what I want, but I can't afford a license, because i'm still a student. – Alex Jan 09 '12 at 10:11

then i think you have to write your own code using basic controls like listbox, combox box, buttons etc. – Shekhar Jan 09 '12 at 10:35

You need to implement your own coding for doing so. It is rather easy, you can use some TreeView
s and ListView
s and use File
Path
and other stuff from System.IO
class.

It is not possible to embed the FolderBrowserDialog in your own form, but you can use 3rd party controls like Shell MegaPack to do this.

I tried out the Shell Megapack, it has some nice controls and i'd love to use them. But I am still a student and can't afford a license – Alex Feb 06 '12 at 12:37
