Overrideble properties / methods in DialogViewModels could be added to support custom (or filtered) sources of the navigation TreeView and navigation Breadcrumb. As a temporary solution, users might filter the breadcrumb this way: var breadCrumb = (sender as RadOpenFolderDialog).ChildrenOfType<RadBreadcrumb>().LastOrDefault(); if (breadCrumb != null) { RadBreadcrumbBarItem bar = breadCrumb.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(0) as RadBreadcrumbBarItem; DirectoryInfoWrapper bDrive = bar.Items.OfType<DirectoryInfoWrapper>().FirstOrDefault(dir => dir.Name.StartsWith("B")); bar.Items.Remove(bDrive); DirectoryInfoWrapper rDrive = bar.Items.OfType<DirectoryInfoWrapper>().FirstOrDefault(dir => dir.Name.StartsWith("R")); bar.Items.Remove(rDrive); } To filter the treeview: var tree = (sender as RadOpenFolderDialog).ChildrenOfType<RadTreeView>().LastOrDefault(); if (tree != null) { tree.LoadOnDemand += Tree_LoadOnDemand; } private void Tree_LoadOnDemand(object sender, Telerik.Windows.RadRoutedEventArgs e) { RadTreeViewItem clickedItem = e.OriginalSource as RadTreeViewItem; List<DirectoryInfoWrapper> dirsToRemove = new List<DirectoryInfoWrapper>(); foreach (DirectoryInfoWrapper dir in clickedItem.Items.OfType<DirectoryInfoWrapper>()) { // removing drives 'R:' and 'B:' for testing purposes. if (dir.Name.StartsWith("R") || dir.Name.StartsWith("B")) { dirsToRemove.Add(dir); } } dirsToRemove.ForEach(dir => clickedItem.Items.Remove(dir)); }
