The Filter property can be used to filter certain files by extension. The FullRefresh method refreshes the displayed information. You can synchronize a ShellListView with a ShellTreeView by using the ShellControlConnector property. By default, a double click is handled by the control and it tries to perform the default action for the selected object.

 

Items that are contained in the list are of type ShellListItem. This applies to the Items and the SelectedItems properties.

 

Sorting is handled automatically by this list when column headers are clicked. If custom sorting is needed, an IComparer can be assigned to property ListViewItemSorter. See Sort for an example.
