I am using Microsoft's CommonOpenFileDialog to allow users to select a Folder, but no files are visible when the dialog comes up. Is it possible to show files as well as folders when IsFolderPicker
is set to true?
My current code looks like this
var dialog = new CommonOpenFileDialog();
dialog.IsFolderPicker = true;
if (dialog.ShowDialog() == CommonFileDialogResult.Ok)
{
SelectedFolderPath = dialog.FileName;
}
Not very sure if it even possible to do in a standard way, but even considering that yes, think about UI. Seeing contemporary folders and files in one place, but be able to select only folders, doesn't seem to me a good UI. IMHO it's better, and more "natural" way, to have one control populated with folders, and another (clearly readonly) populated with only files that have to be loaded.
Hope this helps.
Off the top of my head, this is how I did it

Seems like few changes were made, snippet below seems to do the job
If you want the user to select a folder only, have you considered using a FolderBrowserDialog?
