Problems with ShellView

[Chris Dunaway]

I have used this and I have had some problems.  The biggest problem is that I cannot double click on a file and have it start the default application for the file.

If I try to rename a file, the delete key will not work to delete characters of the existing filename.  I have to use backspace.  If I type the letter 'n' while renaming, the rename operations ceases!

I haven't spent much time debugging, but they are very frustrating problems.

Hi Chris,

The easiest way to achieve what you're wanting to achieve is by adding
a DoubleClick handler to the ShellView:

       private void shellView_DoubleClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
           if (shellView.SelectedItems.Length == 1)
               Process.Start(shellView.SelectedItems[0].FileSystemPath);
       }

I will take a look at the delete/'n' key problem for you now.

Cheers,
Steven

I've committed a fix that should enable the Delete key when renaming a file. Please let me know if this fixes the problem for you.

I was however, unable to reproduce the problem with the 'n' key. Can you confirm that this bug occurs for you with the example ShellExplorer project?

Cheers,
Steven

I think I found the 'n' key problem

If on my foem I have a button using a N shortcut (like "&New…") AND the form has its keypreview property set to True, then the N key is not available in shellview, like when renaming !

That's really weird. (I tested it  in windows 7-64bits)
