File Explorer

[deepika]

Hi

I need to use file explorer just to display all the folders and subfolders(view all the pdf's in the folders or files). How can i do that . Can you please guide me. I went through the demos but those are not working for me.


Thanks,
Deepika

Hi Deepika,

I am not quite sure I understand the question.

If you want to display only folders and PDF files in the RadFileExplorer, you can use SearchPatterns property to filter the files, e.g.:

<telerik:RadFileExplorer ID="RadFileExplorer1" runat="server">
    <Configuration ViewPaths="~/ROOT" UploadPaths="~/ROOT" DeletePaths="~/ROOT" SearchPatterns="*.pdf" />
</telerik:RadFileExplorer>

If this is not the case, could you please describe in more details what exactly you are trying to achieve? A screenshot demonstrating the required result will be of great help solving this case.

All the best,

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. My target is to display all the files and folders from a given specific path. Just to view not any edits. I tried one of your demo's but didn't work. Please give me a detailed description like how to implement that.



Thanks,
Deepika

Hi Deepika,

To configure RadFileExplorer to display the files in a folder you need to set its ViewPaths property. By setting DeletePaths and UploadPaths properties you can allow the upload / delete / rename / create new folder functionalities, if you do not to allow these you should not set these properties.

In order to disable the opening of the files (by double click on the item) you need to assign handler to the RadFileExplorer's OnClientFileOpen and cancel the execution of the command, e.g.:

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

<script type="text/javascript">
    function OnClientFileOpen(explorer, args)
    {
        args.set_cancel(true); //cancel further execution of the command
    }
</script>
