New Features in Telerik UI for WinForms File Dialogs
New RadBreadCrumb
File Dialogsnow comes with a newly designed RadBreadCrumb . It offers you the ability to build complicated navigation systems that allow you to track navigation history. Thanks to its powerful data-binding mechanism, the control lets you display hierarchical structures such as directories and relational data. With the auto-complete functionality, RadBreadCrumb significantly improves the navigation and performance of your application.
Custom Places
File Dialogsnow can show favorite links similarly to Windows' Quick Access view. These links are known as “ Custom places. ” To use them you should just add a list of directories to the control's CustomPlaces collection:
RadSaveFileDialog saveFileDialog = new RadSaveFileDialog(); saveFileDialog.CustomPlaces.Add(@"C:\Program Files\"); saveFileDialog.CustomPlaces.Add(@"C:\Program Files (x86)\Progress"); saveFileDialog.CustomPlaces.Add(@"C:\Windows\System32"); saveFileDialog.CustomPlaces.Add(@"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET"); saveFileDialog.CustomPlaces.Add(@"C:\Windows\Globalization"); saveFileDialog.CustomPlaces.Add(@"C:\Windows\Help"); saveFileDialog.ShowDialog();
List<string> paths = new List<string>()
{
@"C:\Users\”your_user_name”\Desktop",
@"C:\Users\”your_user_name”\Downloads",
@"C:\Users\”your_user_name”\Music",
@"C:\Users\”your_user_name”\Pictures",
@"C:\Users\”your_user_name”\Contacts",
@"C:\Users\”your_user_name”\Links"
};
Image favoritesIcon = Properties.Resources.Favorites;
explorerControl1.AddCustomPlacesNode("Favorites", favoritesIcon, paths);
paths = new List<string>()
{
@"C:\Users\”your_user_name”\Documents",
@"C:\Users\”your_user_name”\Searches",
@"C:\Users\”your_user_name”\Videos"
