How about adding the ability to see hidden directories with the DirListBox
control?

How about getting rid of the obsolete File- and DirListBox controls
altogether, and replacing them with the controls that make up the
Win9x-style common file dialogs?

Real simple... The common dialogs are "dialogs". Show me how to embed one
in a form with other controls such as check boxes and labels.

Obsolete or not, there is a place for a simple display of the directory
structure. I would certainly prefer something that looked more like the
directory tree in Windows Explorer but that doesn't exist outside of 3rd
party custom controls (and yes, I know about the CCRP).

The "Explorer" objects need to replace the existing Drive, Directory, and
File controls OR they need to add hidden directories to the dirlistbox and
preferably, the "desktop" etc folders as well.

Al: Please re-read my previous message. Note that I did not suggest that you
use the common dialog.

well, they come from existing APIs that the system exposes. In other words,
they are there because they are easy.
