SftDirectory 3.5 - ActiveX File/Folder Control

SftDirectory.Reload Method

Reloads all files/folders.

Syntax

object

A SftDirectory object.

SyncContents

Defines how the contents are updated.

Depth

Defines how files/folders are updated.

Comments

The Reload method reloads all files/folders.

By setting SyncContents to True, current content is left unmodified, preserving customizations to files/folders an application has made, such as files/folders' Tag properties. New files/folders are added and folders that no longer exist are removed. Otherwise, if SyncContents is set to False, the control's contents are removed and then reloaded.

One single folder's entries can be reloaded using the file/folder's Folder.Reload method.

An end-user can click F5 to refresh the control contents.

Examples

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    AxSftDirectory1.ColumnCount = 2
    AxSftDirectory1.ShowFiles = False
    AxSftDirectory1.GridStyle = SftDirectoryGridStyleConstants.gridSftDirectoryBoth
    AxSftDirectory1.Headers.Style = SftDirectoryHeadersStyleConstants.headersSftDirectoryButton
    AxSftDirectory1.get_ColumnEntry(0).HeaderText = "Folder"
    AxSftDirectory1.get_ColumnEntry(1).HeaderText = "Full Path"
    AxSftDirectory1.get_ColumnEntry(1).Contents = SftDirectoryContentsConstants.contentsSftDirectoryUser1
    AxSftDirectory1.Reload(False, False)
End Sub

Private Sub AxSftDirectory1_UserContents(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As AxSftDirectoryLib30._ISftDirectoryEvents_UserContentsEvent) Handles AxSftDirectory1.UserContents
    If e.contents = SftDirectoryContentsConstants.contentsSftDirectoryUser1 Then
        e.userString = e.folder.Path
