HistoryControlLib

Implements a themable recent locations (forward, backward, up. pop-up list) control a la Windows (7-10) Explorer. These controls and viewmodels are re-used in the File System Controls project which in turn is integrated in Edi.

The repository contains the sources for a Generic and a Dark and Light themed test client.

The Locations Drop-Down button makes use of the Segoe UI Symbol font, which may not always be available on Windows 7. The font can either be installed via update from Microsoft of the drop down button definition for the down chevron can be replaced with a path definition.
