Windows XP control panel control for Windows forms

Question

I'd like to have an application with an UI similar to Windows XP control panel. Does anybody knows of a control with the same icon view? Thanks

Answer 1

The closest control that could serve this purpose is the ListView control, using the Large Icons view.

It will have a similar look to a control panel. Unless you are talking about the category based control panel in WindowsXP, then you would have multiple controls and forms to handle this.

Answer 2

The article here shows how to embed the Windows file viewer control in you app, see my answer here for more info.

Answer 3

You can check the IntegralUI ListView control from Lidor Systems. It has LargeIcon view which can also be customized with custom objects: text, images, hyperlinks etc. in multiple lines.

The view like the one in Windows XP control panel can also be created.
