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

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.

Enables the automatic refreshes of the control, e.g. when a file is added or deleted in the current directory.

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.

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.

Specifies the delay between when a node is selected and when the handling of this change is processed.

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.

Use this property to display checkboxes for the control.

Reduces the space between the root nodes of the Tree.

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.

Contains an ImageList holding custom icons.

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.

Configuration of the roots that are displayed in the ShellTreeView

Returns a collection containing all child ShellTreeNodes of this ShellTreeNode.

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.

If you`re looking for the path an operation was performed on (e.g. Drop), use the OperationPerformed event.
