ShellControlConnector Class |
This component is able to synchronize several of the visual shell components (e.g. ShellTreeView, ShellListView). Just drop a ShellControlConnector component to this form and assign the ShellControlConnector property of all shell components to the ShellControlConnector component. You can refresh all connected shell controls by using the FullRefresh() method. If you want to use CheckBoxes in a ShellTreeView or ShellListView, that must be connected to a ShellControlConnector. The ShellControlConnector will synchronize the selected files and folder in the different shell controls.

SyntaxThe ShellControlConnector type exposes the following members.
Constructors| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | ShellControlConnector |
The constructor for the ShellControlConnector class,
it internally registers an EventHandler to its SelectionList change event.
|
Properties| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | ConsiderRootedAtProperty |
If this property is set to true the ShellControlConnector will take the
RootedAt or RootedAtFileSystemFolder property
of a connected ShellTreeView control into account.
For example if RootedAt is set to "c:\" then the ShellControlConnector will filter out
any folder change event that would point connected controls like the ShellListView to
a folder that is not reachable by traversing the directory tree from the root given in the
RootedAt directory.
