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.

If FileSystemOnly is set to True, objects and virtual folders which do not have a file system path, will not be displayed.

Returns the currently selected item.

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.

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).

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.
