    Hello , I can access the right pane of the Windows Explorer in XP ( 32 bit ) , by getting the handle to the "SysListView32" . But in Windows 7 , the window class for the right hand side of the Windows Explorer is DirectUIHWND. I have used Spy++ to see the child windows, but I only find ControlNotifySink . Any idea how do I get the list view . Thanks in advance Sujay

      What are you trying to do? I guess you should be writing a shell extension. What you're doing is not a recommended way and this is exactly the situation why it is not recommended.

        I want to find out which item has been selected . If it was a SysListview32 , I could have SendMessage and used the HWND of the SyslistView32 . But as it is a DirectUIHWND, I dont see how to get the list view out of that. There is no documentation of DirectUIHWND . One way maybe to get the COM interface, I am thinking of that way. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Sujay
