How do I include the compact flash folders in the DocumentList control?

Question

I am very new to C#. I want to find the control that is used in the initial "Show" drop-down menu for the Pocket PC File Explorer application. This control is in the top left of the screen and gives the user the ability to chose the starting folder from either the My Device hierarchy or from any inserted compact flash cards. Once the user selects the starting folder, the contents are displayed via what looks like a DocumentList control. My problem is I can't seem to get the DocumentList control to include the compact flash folders. I am using VS2005 and .NET compact framework V2. Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

You should take a look at OpenFileDialog / SaveFileDialog.

Hi patty_watson,

DocumentList has the limitation by default, we can implement a control what we want ourselves. You can find a sample:

Depending on the version of Windows Mobile you may need to ensure that either:-
The card has a My Documents folder in which case it will display the contents and one folder beneath
The card has an "ignoremydocs" file in the root of the card in which case it will display the first 2 levels deep of folders

The DocumentList doesn't handle deep folder structures well.
