Hide or Rename Parent Node

[Dean Workman]

Does any one know if there is a way to hide or rename the paret (top most) node in the tree?  I created a custom provider so I can point my FileExplorer to a physical path but the parent node is always the name of the root folder.  I would like to name it but will settle for hiding it.

Thanks,
Dean

I did it by setting a root path for each of the folders under the root folder. That way the root folder is not shown.

sFilePaths = "a,c"
string[] aFilePath = sFilePaths.Split(',');
fileExplorer.Configuration.ViewPaths = aFilePath;
fileExplorer.Configuration.UploadPaths = aFilePath;
fileExplorer.Configuration.DeletePaths = aFilePath;

Jim,

Thanks for the reply.  But I don't understand what you mean by setting the "Root" path.

Lets say your parent node is: docs/
and inside docs you have the folders you want to display:
folder1/
folder2/
folder3/
folder4/

You can just set all your path settings to point to all the sub folders individually instead of the root folder like so:

sFilePaths = "~/docs/folder1/,~/docs/folder2/,~/docs/folder3/,~/docs/folder4/"
string[] aFilePath = sFilePaths.Split(',');
fileExplorer.Configuration.ViewPaths = aFilePath;
fileExplorer.Configuration.UploadPaths = aFilePath;
fileExplorer.Configuration.DeletePaths = aFilePath;

Maybe I misspoke when I said root folder. What I meant was that you can point your view, upload, and delete paths to multiple folders, and you will get the result you want. With the settings above, your file explorer would not display a folder called docs.
