ShellSystemList Properties

The ShellSystemList type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	AllColumns	Gets a list of all columns that are supported in the current view. These depend on what the control currently displays. Not supported on Windows XP.
	BackColor	This property is not implemented for the ShellSystemList. (Overrides ControlBackColor)
	BackgroundImage	This property is not implemented for the ShellSystemList. (Overrides ControlBackgroundImage)
	BackgroundImageLayout	This property is not implemented for the ShellSystemList. (Overrides ControlBackgroundImageLayout)
	CheckMode	Gets or sets a value defining the current CheckMode.
	Columns	Gets the ShellViewColumns the control currently displays. Not supported on Windows XP.
	ContentFilter	Gets or sets an ShellItemFilter instance.
	ContextMenuStrip	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.
	CreateParams	Gets the required creation parameters when the control handle is created. (Overrides ControlCreateParams)
	FileSystemOnly	If FileSystemOnly is set to True, objects and virtual folders which do not have a file system path, will not be displayed.
	Filter	You can use a single pattern, e.g. '*.doc' or concatenate several patterns using semicolons to separate them, e.g. '*.exe;*.com'.
	FilterRegex	Set this property to a regular expression if you want to only show those files that match the regex. This value also changes if the property Filter is set.
	Focused	Gets a value indicating whether a control has input focus.
	FolderIdList	Get or set the ItemIdList of the folder the component currently displays respectively the folder the component shall display.
	Font	This property is not implemented for the ShellSystemList. (Overrides ControlFont)
	ForeColor	This property is not implemented for the ShellSystemList. (Overrides ControlForeColor)
	InEditMode	Returns true if the user is currently editing the caption of a listview item.
	IsInitialized	Returns true if the ShellSystemList is property initialization has been performed (after EndInit was called by the Designer generated code)
	ItemCount	Gets the number of items the list currently holds.
	Items	The List of items that the ole shell instance displays. One cannot remove several items from this datastructure in order to remove them from the listview.
	Path	This property allows you to get or set the folder, which contents should be displayed. If you want to display a non file system folder, use the SpecialFolder property.
	SelCount	Gets the number of selected items.
	Selected	Returns the currently selected item.
	SelectedFiles	Returns a list of full paths for the items selected in the view. Objects that do not have a filesystem path, are not within this list.
	SelectedIndex	Get the selected index in the SystemShellView. This property is -1, if nothing is selected. Please use SelectedItemIdList if you want to determine if nothing at all is selected, since determining the selected index involves a search via IndexOf(ItemIdList).
	SelectedItemIdList	Get the selected item id list in the SystemShellView. This property returns null, if nothing is selected. The setter of this property is protected since the exact ItemIdList that is stored in the explorer ole instance is needed to select the item in the view. It is insufficient to construct a new one with new ItemIdList("fullpath"); and pass that as a value. The instantiated ole window will not select an item that way.
	SelectedPath	Get the full path of the selected item. Returns null if nothing is selected.
	ShellControlConnector	Connects this control to a ShellControlConnector component, which allows to synchronize several shell controls.
	ShowBackgroundContextMenu	If set to true, the Windows Explorer background context menu will be shown if a right click event occurs.
	ShowContextMenu	If set to true, the Windows Explorer context menu will be shown if a right click event occurs.
	ShowErrorMessages	If set to true the ShellList component will show a MessageBox if an error occured, otherwise the errors will only be logged to the Debug output.
	ShowFiles	If set to true, files will be shown in the control. If set to false, files will not be visible in the control.
	ShowFolders	The property ShowFolders allows you to include the folders in the ShellListView, similar to FrontPage 2000.
	ShowHidden	Is set to 'true', hidden elements will also be shown.
	ShowNetHood	If set to 'false', the Network Neighbourhood is not shown in the component, otherwise it is shown (the default value is true).
	ShowRecycleBin	If set to true, the recycle bin will be visible. If set to false, the recycle bin will be hidden (the default value is true).
	SpecialFolder	SpecialFolder allows you to set or get the type of the currently listed folder. You can use the ShellFolder constants here.
	TextColor	Get or set the TextColor of the Control
	Thumbnails	Obsolete - use View.
	ThumbnailSize	Gets or sets the size of the thumbnails. Only applied when View is set to FolderViewMode.Thumbnail
	Transparent	Get or set the transparency value of the Control
	Version	The current version of the ShellBrowser.
	View	This property allows to set the different view modes of the windows explorer listview control. In comparison to the ShellListView the ShellSystemList provides a greater variety of possibilities.
	ViewFolderFlags	Get or set the FolderFlags that specify how the ListView displays its content. The flags can be or'ed together, ie. "FolderFlags.NoColumnHeader | FolderFlags.AbbreviatedNames" in the designer this is specified by a comma-separation Not all of the Flags are supported currently
