Hello! I am using the ExplorerControl for an application where I want to limit the user to selecting files and folders - they should otherwise be completely unable to modify the filesystem. Is there a way to disable the feature where the user selects a file or folder, then selects it again, and the file entry changes to let them edit the name of the selected item?
This occurs with both a mouse and touchscreen selection; I'd like to disable both of these cases. To clarify, this is distinct from the "rename" feature of the Windows context menu, which normally appears on mouse right-click (and can be disabled by handling that event).
Thanks for your help!

Hello, Ed,
As of R1 2020 SP1 all file dialogs and the ExplorerControl offer the EditingOptions property which I believe would be suitable for your scenario. It determines how the files and folders in the ExplorerControl can be edited. Setting EditingOptions will determine which edit operations can be performed via keyboard keys and "NewFolder" button:

I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.
