Thanks for the response. In the application the ShellList is really only there to confirm to the user that they’re in the right folder by displaying the files in it: they already have a folder requester dialog and drag-and-drop to select a folder. If I leave the ShellList active, they can get into trouble as by itself it doesn’t seem to have a “back” or “up” option: I could add the ShellCombo to help them use the ShellList for navigation, but it all starts getting a bit cluttered. I’ll try your suggestion.
As an aside, I see Embarcadero seem determined to waste their investment in your great components: they really don’t seem to know what to do with them.
Thanks for your help,
JB
