Get Path to ListBox of All Open Explorer Windows

Question

I want to list all open windows Explorer windows with their active path in the ListBox . The application should update the ListBox if the explorer window moves to another path.

For example, two explorer windows are open. One of them is connected to C:\Windows , and the other to D:\Stuff . When the application starts, it adds C:\Windows and D:\Stuff to the ListBox . Then the user navigates to another folder in one of the open explorer windows, for example C:\Windows\system32 . Then the application should update the ListBox and list C:\Windows\system32 and D:\Stuff .

I have no idea how to do this. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Here you can find an example of path access in WindowsExplorer and InternetExplorer : http://omegacoder.com/?p=63

How about getting notified that the user has switched to another path, I don’t know what I know.

So, the first solution that comes to my mind uses Timer and checks every tick.
