Navigation Services for Carbon

Navigation Services is an application programming interface that allows your application to provide a user interface for navigating, opening, and saving Mac OS file objects. Navigation Services is provided as a Carbon-compliant replacement for and enhancement to the Standard File Package, which was introduced with the original Macintosh System. Navigation Services is available on Mac OS 8.6 and later, including Mac OS X.

The enhanced functionality of Navigation Services is easy to adopt. Functions are simple and flexible; they are designed to help you avoid writing custom code. Navigation Services also provides automatic support for the Appearance Manager’s extended suite of dialogs, alerts, and user controls to ensure a more consistent and comprehensible user interface across applications.
