.NET Forum / Languages / C# / October 2007Double-click a folder browser dialog?
I'm trying to implement some fairly standard behavior (or so I thought) on a FolderBrowserDialog component. double-clicking a folder in the dialog should have the same effect as selecting the folder and clicking the dialog's OK button. But the FolderBrowserDialog component doesn't implement that behavior, and it doesn't have a double-click event that would allow me to implement it. Is there a simple way to implement this behavior? Thanks. David, Unfortunately, this isn't made available to you. It's not even available through the API call SHBrowseForFolder (which is what the FolderBrowserDialog calls, ultimately). You could try and derive from FolderBrowserDialog, and replace the hook procedure (HookProc) as well as the RunDialog procedure and then get the window handle for the tree view, but that's VERY implementation specific, and I wouldn't depend on it.

Yep, it says so in the MSDN: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.folderbrowserdialo g.aspx That sucks. In that case, the OP should extend CommonDialog and call SHBrowseForFolder, and try to find the tree view window, or like you said, get a third party implementation.

Unfortunatelly that feature is not available, not only that but FolderBrowserDialog is a sealed class, so you cannot inherit from it. You either implement your own FolderBrowserDialog from the scratch or look around for a third party implementation >>or look around for a third party implementation Take a look at Shell MegaPack controls from http://www.ssware.com G Himangi > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > You either implement your own FolderBrowserDialog from the scratch or > look around for a third party implementation Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months.
