Windows Shell 为编程带来了什么？

 您是否希望在你的程序中调用一些Windows功能呢？

例如，当你希望调用Windows 的DirectoryBrowser对话框的时候你却发现Microsoft Commom Dialog并没有这个功能，那该如何处理呢？

 

其实，在Windows中，它已经为我们提供了一个可复用的COM类库，Microsoft Shell Controls And Automation。调用它，我们可以轻易地实现以下功能：

1）调用目录浏览对话框。

2)启动停止服务。

3）排序Windows窗口。

4）调用控制面板项目。

5)打开资源管理器。

6）打开URL

7）调用系统运行对话框。

8）打开查找计算机对话框

9）打开查找文件对话框

10)打开查找打印机对话框

 

当然，还有更多的功能，

 

注意：Shell32.dll中的COM引用在Windows XP和Windows Vista上是不通用的，所以你必须为你的程序做不同系统上的打包。

 

希望这些功能对你有用，～好运～～～～@！！
