Description

FileExplorer is a sample viewer that displays the user's file hierarchy and files. For information on this sample's programming, see File Explorer Programming Discussion.

ATF Features Demonstrated by FileExplorer

  • Use of Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF) to put applications together and to extend a file view.
  • Use of the application shell framework, including CommandService, SettingsService, and StatusService. FileExplorer does not use ControlHostService.
  • Use of the TreeControl, TreeControlAdapter, and the ITreeView and IItemView interfaces to display the file folder tree structure.
  • Use of ListView, ListViewAdapter, and IListView and IItemView interfaces to display the list of files in the selected file folder.
  • Use of the UserFeedbackService for bug reporting.
  • Use of the VersionUpdateService to test upgrading to the latest SHIP version of the application. This is just a test. There is not really a newer version of FileExplorer on SHIP.

Run FileExplorer

  1. Double-click the FileExplorer.exe in \bin\wws_atf\Release.
  2. An Explorer-like window appears, showing the user's file hierarchy and files, and an Update dialog box pops up, that tests the version update feature.
  3. Click "No" on the Update dialog box.

Menu Options

  • File: choose Exit to exit FileExplorer.
  • Edit:
    • Keyboard Shortcuts: use the Customize Keyboard Shortcuts window to set up keyboard shortcuts.
    • Load or Save Settings: use the Load and Save Settings window to save current FileExplorer application settings, or to load application settings from a file.
    • Preferences: set application preferences such as whether to check for updates at startup (default is TRUE).
  • Help:
    • Send Feedback: use the Send Feedback window to report and submit bugs to SHIP.
    • Check for update: use to check for updates to FileExplorer.

How to Use FileExplorer

Expand and collapse file hierarchies by clicking the "+" or "-" sign next to folder names.
