FileList Properties

Gets the ImageList that is currently used.

Use this property to turn on or off drag support with the Windows Explorer.

Use this property to turn on or off drop support with the Windows Explorer.

If this property is set to true, the user is allowed to drop items onto the background in order to add them to the displayed list of files.

Whether to allow duplicates in the Filelist or not, the default is to allow them. If AllowDuplicates is set to false, insertion to the FileList may get significantly slower for large sets of files.

Set this property to true if you like the component to be refreshed automatically if a Drive is added or removed. This property is directly connected to the Enabled property of an internal instance of ShellChangeNotifier.

Indicates whether automatic refresh is enabled or not.

The delay in milliseconds after that the control scrolls automatically during a drag and drop operation. A value of 0 disables the auto scroll feature.

Adjust the size of the given column so that it fills the remaining horizontal space.

Gets or sets the ContextMenuStrip that is displayed if no item of the listview is under the cursor if the user clicks the right mouse button. If this value is null, no ContextMenu is shown.

Use this property to turn on or off the checkboxes for file and folder selection. The checkboxes will only work, if a ShellControlConnector has been assigned to the ShellControlConnector property of this component. It will automatically synchronize the selection state of the items in multiple shell controls linked together with this ShellControlConnector.

Use this property to display checkboxes for the control.

Refer to the SelectionList property to determine which items are selected. Please do not use this property, it is currently not supported. The CheckBoxes in an ordinary ListView do not support the grayed CheckState furthermore the ListView does not support them at all in View TileView.

If set to true, it is checked whether the files that are added to the list do exist on the filesystem.

true if m_SelectedFiles should contain whole paths instead of files only.

Gets the collection of all column headers that appear in the control.

Gets or sets the ToolStripRenderMode of the BackgroundContextMenu and the HeaderContextMenu.

The ContextMenuStrip is converted to an ordinary ContextMenu. This makes it possible to merge your ContextMenuStrip with the Default ShellContextMenu provided by the system. The "Opening" and "Closing" events of the ContextMenuStrip will be raised if the ContextMenu "Popup"/"Collapse" event occurs. For menu items only the "Click" event is available. All other events are not available. All ToolStripMenuItems are converted, and ToolStripSeparators are recognized. The ShortCut Keys defined in a ToolStripMenuItem are not converted. If you would like to have the ShortCut-Keys, leave this Property null, instead set the ContextMenu property to your menu explicitly.

Copy mode allows you to control the behaviour when files or folders get dropped.

Overwriting the CreateParams property to set the WS_VISIBLE flag; bug #8960

Gets a value indicating whether the design mode.

Local variable to detect whether the mouse is clicked or dragged

Local variable to detect whether the mouse is clicked or dragged

During a drag and drop operation that origins in this control this member contains the IDataObject. Filled in the ItemDrag method of the control.

Gets or sets the item on that a current drag and drop operation would be executed.

During a drag and drop operation this member contains the IDataObject that is dragged over the control. Filled in DragEnter.

In Thumbnail view, only load thumbnails that are already in the thumbnail cache for folders. Default value true will avoid potentially huge delays that are caused by live folder thumbnails reflecting the contents of the folder.

The font used to display text in the control.

Gets or sets the ContextMenuStrip that will be shown if the user rightclicks on the headerbar. Get: If it's null, we generate a list of available columns.

Returns the area occupied by the ListView header.

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the selected item in the control remains highlighted when the control loses focus.

The column index of the column containing the parent folder of a file.

Internal attribute is used by classes deriving from JamBaseShellListView.

Gets the columns as JamShellColumnCollection.

Gets a value indicating whether this object is currently in edit-mode.

Prevents operations that change the file system from being executed.

The SearchOptions are used to set different options before calling the Search(String) method.

This property provides access to a list of all files including their extension, which are currently selected in the ShellListView. Dependent on the user settings, the file names in the ListView may be displayed without extension, which makes it difficult to further process them when they are accessed only by the SelectedItems property. You can also use the SelectedFiles property to add files to the selection by using SelectedFiles.Add method.

Simple getter/setter for m_SelectedFiles, for use by deriving classes.

Gets the items that are selected in the control.

Gets or sets the shellbrowser instance.

Returns the reference to the ShellChangeNotifier that is associated with this instance.

This property returns the size of all files in the FileList. If the FileList contains folders, the foldersize is determined recursively.

Returns an array of the currently used ShColumnIds.

If true, the slow tooltip that contains additional information like the folder size is used. Setting this value to false increases the performance.

Set this property to true if you want the component to utilize the default system font. It is also set to true if the UseSystemStyles property is set.

Whether to use the system threadpool to obtain information on listview items. If this property is false (the default value), the complete file detail information is retrieved as soon as the item is displayed the first time within the listview. Sometimes it is useful to have all file information fetched as soon as possible without loosing userinterface responsiveness. If set to true, the item information for all files in the listview is additionally fetched from the background this further enhances performance on multicore systems.
