RadOpenFileDialog does not update FilterIndex

The RadOpenFileDialog has a property FilterIndex to get or set the index of the currently selected filter. Setting the index works fine. However, the property is not updated when the user selects a different filter. FilterIndex will always keep the value that was initially set. This is quite annoying, as we want that our customers find their most recently used filter index pre-selected.

The same problem exists for InitialSelectedLayout, which is never update either. .Net Framework's OpenFileDialog restores the most recently selected view automatically.

FileDialogs version is 2019.1.116.45

Provide a way to create custom Confirm dialog when overriding a file in SaveFileDialog.

The items inside the Tree Navigation Pane are not sorted in the same way as the native MS dialog. In our OpenFolderDialog when there is a file or folder name which starts with underscore "_" the file/folder is placed at the bottom of the tree navigation view. Looking at the tree from the MS dialog it is placed at the top.

In the Main Pane, the items are sorted correctly.

When the layout type is set to Details the rename with the slow double click doesn't work. The selected file/folder doesn't enter edit mode.

OpenFile/SaveFile dialog or ExplorerControl with Multiselect, Details View and Filter applied.

Click on a file / fodler in gridview - argument exception occurs.

"Property FileSystemInfo is not defined for type System.Object."

On Windows Server 2012 R2, the Search field in the ExplorerControl doesn't appear to work.  This is observable using the Demo app.

When you type into the Search box, the main pane clears of all file/folder entries, but the matching results never appear.

(Note: Windows Server 2012 R2 isn't available in the OS box, so I chose 2008.)

It would be nice to have some additional public properties and commands for ExplorerControl.  For example:

• Boolean properties to show/hide the first two rows (containing the breadcrumbs, new folder button, layout combo box, etc.).
• Search command or public SearchText property.
• Cancellable OnNavigating event.
• Navigation tree "RootDirectory" property, which would replace the top-level "This PC" node.

Thanks for your consideration!

Introduce a mechanism to allow executing search manually. Similar to the RadGridViewCommands.SearchByText command.

Hello.

I've created buttons that are bound to FileDialogCommands for sending commands to an ExplorerControl, as shown here:

https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/wpf/controls/radfiledialogs/features/commands

 

Everything works when the ExplorerControl is visible.  However, if the ExplorerControl's Visibility is set to Collapsed (which I need based on a condition), the Command bindings on the buttons throw the below error:

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
   at Telerik.Windows.Controls.FileDialogs.ExplorerControl.CanExecuteHelper(Object sender)

 

The UserControl that hosts the ExplorerControl is being imported through MEF.  I don't know if that's a factor.

Either way, it looks like a null check might be needed for the InternalViewModel property.

Can you please add the ability to select (and scroll into view) a file/folder in the RadFileDialog by keyboard? i.e. when focused within the files section of the dialog, typing 's' should scroll to the first file starting with 's' and select it.

All the Win32 and WPF file dialogs support this.

This is reproducible only with display language of the Windows set to a language different than English. It was originally reproduced with French.

If you set the initial directory to a network dir (ex: \\MyPcName\SharedFolder2\MyFiles), and open the dialog, initially the correct folder is loaded. However, if you wait several seconds without doing anything, the currently opened directory automatically changes to the root "Network" dir.

The contents of the Path Navigation Pane and Main Pane are not synced with the selection inside the Tree Navigation Pane when a local drive is shared through a remote desktop connection.

This behavior differs from the standard MS FileDialogs, where the expand arrow is not visible for such folders. 

To reproduce this behavior you need the following settings.

- Set the display language of your Windows to Italian.
- Use a RadOpenFileDialog.
- Set its Filter. For example, you can filter to show only Excel files.
- Change the layout type to Details.

In this case the folders in the opened direction disappears.

Drag & Drop between ExplorerControl and Windows Explorer does not work

For example Filter is "XAML CS Files (*.xaml.cs)|*.xaml.cs"

MS Win32 OpenFileDialog filter files correctly to show only xaml.cs files.

RadOpenFile/SaveFileDialog does not show the xaml.cs files which is wrong.

ExplorerControl is in DropDownContent  of DropDownButton.

Selecting multiple files in the explorer is not possible.

<telerik:RadDropDownButton DropDownWidth="400" DropDownHeight="400" VerticalAlignment="Center" Content="Dialog Button">
            <telerik:RadDropDownButton.DropDownContent>
                <dialogs:ExplorerControl Layout="Details"/>
            </telerik:RadDropDownButton.DropDownContent>
        </telerik:RadDropDownButton>

When the DropDown is opened Exception in FileBrowserGridView.cs is thrown.

ExplorerControl or FileDialog is opened with 

 StyleManager.ApplicationTheme = new Windows8TouchTheme();

On load exception is thrown:

 "Cannot find resource named 'BreadCrumbBarItemCustomStyle'.  Resource names are case sensitive"
