В этом уроке мы добавим свою кнопку в проводник!

Для начала декларация функций:

    Private Declare Ansi Function SetParent Lib "user32" (hWndChild As Integer, hWndNewParent As Integer) As Integer
    Private Declare Ansi Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" (lpClassName As Integer, lpWindowName As Integer) As Integer
    Private Declare Ansi Function GetDesktopWindow Lib "user32" () As Integer
    Private Declare Ansi Function GetWindow Lib "user32.dll" (hwnd As Integer, wCmd As Integer) As Integer
    Private Declare Ansi Function GetClassName Lib "user32.dll" Alias "GetClassNameA" (hwnd As Integer,  ByRef lpClassName As String, nMaxCount As Integer) As Integer
    Private Declare Ansi Function SetWindowPos Lib "user32.dll" (hwnd As Integer, hWndInsertAfter As Integer, X As Integer, Y As Integer, cx As Integer, cy As Integer, wFlags As Integer) As Integer
    Private Function FindWindows(wClass As String) As Long
        Dim result As Long = 0L
        Dim num As Long = CLng(Form1.GetDesktopWindow())
        num = CLng(Form1.GetWindow(CInt(num), 5))
        While num <> 0L
            Dim text As String = Strings.Space(256)
            Dim num2 As Long = CLng(Form1.GetClassName(CInt(num), text, 256))
            text = Strings.Left(text, CInt(num2))
            If Operators.CompareString(text, wClass, False) = 0 Then
                result = num
                Exit While
            End If
            num = CLng(Form1.GetWindow(CInt(num), 2))
        End While
        Return result
    End Function

На форму кидаем кнопку и:

    Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Dim hWnd = CInt(GetDesktopWindow)
        Form1.SetParent(CInt(Me.Button1.Handle), hWnd)
        Button1.Location = New Point(100, 0)
    End Sub

И вот, наша кнопка теперь в окне проводника (можно "засунуть" кнопку в любое окно)!
