Disable Double Clicks on Items

[Robert]

Is a setting available for the RadFileExplorer which will allow for only single clicks on items, rather than allowing a double click on a given item?

The EnableOpenFile-"False" property is set on the RadFileExplorer, but this does not disallow double clicking;

Any insight is appreciated;  Best regards - Rob

Hello,

Method 1 :

<telerik:RadFileExplorer runat="server" ID="FileExplorer1" Width="520px" Height="520px"
          OnClientFileOpen="ClientFileOpen">
          <Configuration ViewPaths="~/Pictures/" />
      </telerik:RadFileExplorer>

<script type="text/javascript">
     function ClientFileOpen(sender, eve) {
         eve._cancel = true;
     }
 </script>

Method 2:

<telerik:RadFileExplorer runat="server" ID="FileExplorer1" Width="520px" Height="520px"
            EnableOpenFile="false">
            <Configuration ViewPaths="~/Pictures/" />
        </telerik:RadFileExplorer>

Thanks,

Hi Rob,

The EnableFileOpen property of RadFileExplorer is controlling if the preview window (or the download dialog) should appear when a file is opened.

The Method 1 of the Jayesh's post is the way to disable the doubleclick in the Grid component of RadFileExplorer.

I just wanted to point out that in the posted handler a private property is used, which is not recommended. You should use its setter instead set_cancel(). Also, this will disable the doubleclick on a folder and will prevent navigation. You can check if the clicked item is file or folder using the isDirectory() method, e.g.:

<telerik:RadFileExplorer ID="RadFileExplorer1" runat="server" EnableOpenFile="false" OnClientFileOpen="OnClientFileOpen">
    <Configuration ViewPaths="~/ROOT" />
</telerik:RadFileExplorer>

<script type="text/javascript">
    function OnClientFileOpen(explorer, args)
    {
        if (!args.get_item().isDirectory())//check if the clicked item is a folder
            args.set_cancel();
    }
</script>
