I'm trying to write an application that will use a treeview identical to the windows explorer "folders toolbar". However, I'm new to Visual C++, and I can't find any information anywhere on how to create that "window". Would anyone happen to know how to recreate that exact component (with title bar and close button)?
 
create a nwe MFC - SDI or MDI project, find in the wisard while creating "Explorer like" and check, or choose this options(in VisualC++6 it is a checkbox, but in VisualStudio7 it is a drop down list box).
After you create it, in the right is a TreeView control and the main window is a ListView control. Now all you need, is to read in MSDN how to use TreeView and ListView.

I have done that Ion, and I agree it creates the an app that resembles windows explorer. But it doesn't create a title bar and close button on the treeview, which is basically what I am looking for. I want to be able to remove/restore the treeview just like in windows explorer. But I want to be able to do that with the windows close button. Thanks for the suggestion though.
 
in this case you should learn about dockable windows
