ShellTreeView Properties

The ShellTreeView type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	AllowDrag	Use this property to turn on or off drag support with the Windows Explorer.
	AllowDrop	Use this property to turn on or off drag and drop support with the Windows Explorer. (Overrides ControlAllowDrop)
	AutoExpandDelay	The delay in milliseconds after that a folder is expanded automatically during a drag and drop operation. A value of 0 disables the auto expand feature.
	AutomaticRefresh	Enables the automatic refreshes of the control, e.g. when a file is added or deleted in the current directory.
	AutoScrollDelay	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.
	BackColor	A System.Drawing.Color that represents the background color of the control. The default is the value of the System.Windows.Forms.Control.DefaultBackColor property. (Overrides TreeViewBackColor)
	ChangeDelay	Specifies the delay between when a node is selected and when the handling of this change is processed.
	CheckBoxes	Use this property to turn on or off the checkboxes for file and folder selection. The checkboxes will only work, if a ShellControlConnector instance 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.
	CheckBoxMode	Use this property to display checkboxes for the control.
	CompactRoots	Reduces the space between the root nodes of the Tree.
	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.
	CopyMode	Copy mode allows you to control the behaviour when files or folders get dropped.
	CustomImages	Contains an ImageList holding custom icons.
	DrawMode	The value of the DrawMode property must always be TreeViewDrawMode.OwnerDrawAll. This is why the Property is reimplemented here. A different setting is ignored, and a debug message is shown.
	EmptyIconIndex	Gets the zero-based index of the empty icon.
	FileNameFormat	Specifies, whether filename are presented with file extensions or not. By default, this depends on the respective setting in Windows Explorer.
	FileSystemOnly	If FileSystemOnly is set to True, objects and virtual folders which do not have a file system path, will not be displayed. Exceptions are 'My Computer', 'Libraries' and 'Network'
	Filter	You can use a single pattern, e.g. '*.doc' or concatenate several patterns using semicolons to separate them, e.g. '*.exe;*.com'.
	Font	The font used to display text in the control. (Overrides ControlFont)
	HideSelection	Gets or sets a value indicating whether the selected tree node remains highlighted even when the tree view has lost the focus.
	ImageIndex	Not supported.
	ImageList	Gets or sets a list of images.
	IsEditing	Gets a value indicating whether the SelectedNode is in editing state.
	IsInitialized	Gets a value indicating whether the component is initialized.
	IsInitializing	The value this property is true between the calls BeginIniti() and EndInit() of the ISupportInitialize interface.
	ItemHeight	Gets or sets the height of each tree node in the tree view control.
	LabelEdit	Gets or sets a value indicating whether the label text of the tree nodes can be edited.
	LargeIcons	Set or get the ImageSize. True for LargeIcons, false for SmallIcons.
	MultipleRoots	Configuration of the roots that are displayed in the ShellTreeView
	Nodes	Returns a collection containing all child ShellTreeNodes of this ShellTreeNode.
	NoFillOnStartup	If set to true, the control will not fill automatically after it was created. The FullRefresh method must be called explicitly. Since filling shell control with the appropriate items is a costly operation, this property can be useful to prevent unnecessary refreshes of the control.
	ReadOnly	If true, the folder actions changing the contents of the folder are not allowed. E.g.: Adding, removing or renaming files via context menu, DragDrop, Copy/Paste.
	RootedAt	Defines the root folder of this ShellTreeView
	RootedAtFileSystemFolder	Determines the root file system folder of a ShellTreeView.
	RootNode	Returns the first root element of the type ShellTreeNode of this shell treeview.
	SelectedImageIndex	Not supported.
	SelectedNode	Gets or sets the tree node that is currently selected in the ShellTreeView control.
	SelectedPath	Use SelectedPath to get or set the path, which is currently selected in the ShellTreeView. If the currently selected path is not a file system folder, SelectedPath returns an empty string and you should use the SpecialFolder property to get the type of this path. If you`re looking for the path an operation was performed on (e.g. Drop), use the OperationPerformed event.
	ShellChangeNotifier	Returns the reference to the ShellChangeNotifier that is associated with this instance.
	ShellContextMenu	Indicates whether the Windows ShellContextMenu should be shown or not.
	ShellControlConnector	Connects this control to a ShellControlConnector component, which allows to synchronize several shell controls.
	ShellDragDrop	Activates/deactivates the internal drag drop handling of the component.

	ShowFiles	If set to true, files will be shown in the control. If set to false, files will not be visible in the control.
	ShowHidden	Is set to 'true', hidden elements will be shown too.
	ShowLines	Indicates whether lines are displayed between tree nodes.
	ShowNetHood	If set to 'false', the Network Neighbourhood will be hidden.
	ShowOverlayIcons	If set to 'false', no overlay icons will be show, which improves the performance of the control.
	ShowRecycleBin	If set to true, the recycly bin will be visible. If set to false, the recycle bin will be hidden.

The menu items will be shown correctly, however their Click event cannot be triggered.
	SpecialFolder	SpecialFolder allows you to check, if the currently selected folder is a special folder (e.g. the Control Panel) or to make a special folder the selected folder. Use the SelectedPath property if you want to deal with file system folders.
	UseSystemFont	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.
