This interface offers extended type-specific browsing capabilities such that a control can invoke a container-provided property-browsing user-interface if desired. Any property page that wishes to invoke a browsing user interface can query for IDataPathBrowser on the property page site object that it receives through IPropertyPage::SetPageSite. The presence of IDataPathBrowser indicates the possibility that the container supplies some type-specific browsing user interface. To invoke the container-provided user interface, the control calls the IDataPathBrowser::BrowseType method, passing the GUID identifying the type along with a default path and a buffer in which to store the selected path. If the browser supports the type identified with the GUID, it will display a user interface for that type and return any selection to the control.
