Hello,
This thread is about new version and it's new fatures.
As you know, Delphi is shipped with new TFileOpenDialog and TFileSaveDialog components. They allow you to use new-style Open/Save dialogs under Windows Vista and Windows 7. But they do not allow you to extend new-style dialogs: add controls, add your own Preview pane, etc. New
TApFileOpenDialog and
TApFileSaveDialog components allow you to extend these dialogs by adding (docking) your own Delphi form to the right of the dialog window:

Also new dialog components can be used as replacement for system's BrowseForFolder dialog: special option allows you to use this dialog to select folders instead of files.
TApFileOpenDialog/TApFileSaveDialog components preserve key feature of the original TApOpenDialog/TapSaveDialog - access to surrently selected files and folders from event handlers (say, OnSelectionChange or OnFolderChange) while the dialog is visible. So, you can easily add preview pane which is be updated when you change selected files.
Other new features:
- For TApOpenDialog/TapSaveDialog, PlacesBar items can display images not only from DLL/EXE resources but also from specified ImageList/TPicture instances specified at design or run-time.
- SelectedSubfolders property added.
Hope you find our components useful.
Best regards,
Alex Petrov
