Folderbrowserdialog Unmasked: Everything You Wanted to Know About the Folder Browser Component From .net Framework
Original Article :http://www.ssware.com/articles/folderbrowserdialog-unmasked-everything-you-wanted-to-know-about-the-folder-browser-component-from-dotnet-framework.htm
Introduction
The FolderBrowserDialog, available as part of the .Net framework, provides a folder browser component for your C# and VB.Net applications. The UI consists of a modal dialog which contains a tree control displaying all the files and folders on the system. The user can then browse and select a folder from the tree. The full path of the selected folder is then returned.
Basic Usage
To display a folder explorer UI to the user, a FolderBrowserDialog instance is created and the ShowDialog method is called. This shows the modal dialog containing the folder browser control (tree) and an OK and Cancel button. If the user selects a folder and clicks the OK button, the ShowDialog method returns DialogResult.OK and the SelectedPath property contains the full path of the selected folder. If the user clicks the Cancel button, the ShowDialog method returns DialogResult.Cancel.
Advanced Usage
The FolderBrowserDialog has some additional features such as limiting the view of the file system that is displayed to the user, pre-selecting a folder when the dialog is first displayed and displaying a button to allow the user to create a new folder.
The RootFolder property can be set to the full path of the folder which is to be displayed as the root of the tree control of the folder browser component. For example, if this property is set to Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal, only folders from the 'My Documents' are displayed in the tree, so the user can only select 'My Documents' or its sub-folders.
Prior to displaying the folder browser control, the SelectedPath property can be set to the full path of a folder causing that folder to be pre-selected in the folder browser tree. For example, when this property is set to "c:", the node corresponding to the c: drive is pre-selected in the tree when the dialog is first displayed.
If the ShowNewFolderButton property is set to true, then, in addition to the folder browser tree control, and the OK and Cancel buttons, the folder browser dialog also displays an additional 'New Folder' button which when clicked, creates a new folder under the currently selected folder.
Limitations
While the folder browser component is a handy way to allow the users to browse and select folders, it suffers from many limitations, some of them preventing the component from being of practical use in applications.
Modal Functionality
The folder browser component of the most obvious drawback is that it is displayed in the form of a modal dialog user interface. Displayed, it will prevent the rest of the application until the user selects a folder. As long as the dialog box is displayed, there is no input (keyboard or mouse click) In addition to occur in the dialog box. The user must input may appear before the caller identification or the Cancel button.
This is a very annoying and limited FolderBrowserDialog function. Users are likely to be irritated, and tired when they interact with a modal dialog box each time they want to explore and select a folder. A non-modal user interface controls can be the application itself is a form or dialog box, which is a more user-friendly display of the same user-friendly way.
No Virtual (Non-file system) folders
The FolderBrowserDialog does not allow the user to select virtual (Non-file system) folders such as the Control Panel or My Computer. It only allows the user to select a file system path such as "c:" or "c:windows".
No Files
The component does not allow the user to select files. This is a major drawback since there are many circumstances where the user may need to select a file while still using the tree UI to browse to that file.
Limited Choice of RootFolder
The root folder of the folder browser control can be only set to one of the 'special folders' defined by Windows such as the 'My Documents' or 'My Computer'. This is a major limitation since this means you cannot set the root folder to a path such as the "d:" drive.
No Check Boxes
The folder explorer tree in the FolderBrowserDialog cannot show check boxes next to nodes. Ability to show multi-state check boxes can be a very handle feature for such a control.
No Filtering
The FolderBrowserDialog has no support for filtering. For example, it is not possible to display only network folders or only shared folders or only folders starting with the string "Documents" or files having a particular extension.
No Custom Controls
When using FolderBrowserDialog, you are only limited to the actual folder tree control manager to identify, cancel, and the New Folder button and description tags. This is a can not add custom control dialog box. This will be useful, in many cases, such as when you want to display thumbnails / preview of the selected file / folder, or any other relevant information.
No Appearance Control
The appearance of the FolderBrowserDialog and its constituent controls cannot be changed. Neither can attributes of individual folders show in the folder explorer control be changed. For example, it is not possible to change the background color of the tree control or to set the font and color of individual nodes/folders in the tree.
No Custom items
The FolderBrowserDialog cannot display external/custom items in the folder explorer tree. For example, it may be necessary to display items from an FTP location in addition to the file system items. This is not possible with the FolderBrowserDialog.
No Lockdown
The FolderBrowserDialog operations can freely Folder. The user can rename the folder, go drag
Beyond The FolderBrowserDialog : The FolderView Control
The Folder View Control brings a Windows Explorer-like folder browser component to your applications complete with AutoUpdate, dragdrop, icons, context menus, non-filesystem items, default key-handling, info tips and rename. It features powerful behavior control and customization functionality takes it miles ahead of Windows Explorer by adding features like filtering, checkboxes, custom items, more than one root node, dragdrop control and customization of default context menus, display names, icons and more tips.
The FolderView control is a UI control which can be dropped right inside your own forms and dialogs. A non-modal file & folder browsing/selection experience right inside your own dialogs and forms is something that users will appreciate and find intuitive and simple.
Additionally, FolderView overcomes all the limitations of the FolderBrowserDialog and provides far greater and advanced features and functionality than the FolderBrowserDialog. The following table is a quick comparison of the FolderView Control with the FolderBrowserDialog.

Distance learners must be adept at using computers, if they are to succeed in achieving their online degree pursuit. Is your a good enough computer skills to learn online? Compare your computer knowledge and basic skills in the following list to see how well prepared your online degree.
The most obvious skill, perhaps, is a good understanding of how to navigate the Internet. You'll need to know how to open an Internet browser, how to maximize and minimize the browser window, and how to use the forward and back buttons to move back and forth between Web pages. Major browsers like Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox have extensive Help files where you can find answers to all of your questions about Internet navigation.
Second, make sure you know how to manage files on your computer. Make sure that you can use Windows Explorer to find your computer's hard drive folders and files. Practice to create, copy, delete and save the file, until you make sure you know how. If you suspect that your skills, choose the "Help" from the Windows Explorer menu bar, and then on the "document" information search.
If you don't know how to Copy and Paste, learn. Mastery of these basic Clipboard functions will save you tons of time when working online. These basic skills include the ability to left click and drag to highlight information in a document, to copy that information to the clipboard, and then to paste that information from the clipboard into a new document or spreadsheet. If you don't feel confident about copy-and-paste, search for a free copy-and-paste tutorial on any of the major search engines.
You also need to detail with sending and receiving e-mail. Make sure you know how to open and save email attachments, how much of your course material and other work obtained by e-mail. Your e-mail program is a section in its help file that all the questions you have about email and how to answer e-mail handle attachments.
Finally, as an online learner you need to know your way to a kind of word processing software. Microsoft Word as the default here, and most new computers are installed with Word. If your computer does not come with Word, it will not cost you a cent to get a very capable alternative. Note the OpenOffice from openoffice.org. OpenOffice is a free, easy-to-use software suite that includes using a powerful word processor called OpenOffice Writer. It offers all the features of Word, including the ability to open and create that file in Microsoft Word format.
Even if all of your online learning skills have been carefully honed, don't forget to check your computer system to make sure it can participate in the online learning experience. In most cases, you'll want a computer running Windows XP or MAC OS 9 or higher. Also, almost all online universities recommend Internet Explorer or Firefox, adding they've found that AOL users often cannot properly access online courses. You'll also want to have a minimum monitor resolution of 800 x 600 and a DSL or cable modem for best performance. Finally, say leading online institutions, you'll want to enable java script and cookies to optimize the learning experience.
What Is HTML
HTML or Hypertext Markup Language, is the predominant language in which most Internet web pages are based. HTML accomplishes a number of tasks via a web page, including describing the structure of text based information to be displayed within the page (font sizes, text colors and formats, etc.), providing a means for the user to interact with the site via web forms, and embedding images and other types media for display to the user.
When an HTML page is provided to a user’s web browser over the Internet, the web browser will “translate” the HTML code into the format that will be displayed to the user.
HTML is written in the form of labels (known as tags). Each tag includes an “open” tag and a “close” tag, and the text that is contained within the opening and closing tags. For example, text can be made bold by using the and tag pair, so that the following HTML code will display the bold text word “Hello” in the user’s web browser.
< b >Hello< /b > (remove spaces before > and after < )
HTML pages can also incorporate or embed the code for one or more “scripting languages”, including JavaScript, PHP, CGI, and ASP.Net.
What Can HTML Do for Me?
HTML provides the basic structure for your website, so it’s the foundation for your business getting its message to customers and potential customers. When you understand the basic principles of HTML, you can begin to format your web pages to have a more unique and in- house appearance. Brand recognition is important in business, and a little HTML coding can change a template style web page into something that is unique and recognizable. In addition to displaying advertising copy, pictures, brochures and the like, you can also:
? Provide users with a feedback form to submit basic information to you through the website.
? Generate an email
? Offer a Guestbook
How Do I Learn HTML?
As you might suspect, there is a seemingly endless supply of web-based tutorials and instructional materials for learning about HTML. There are a number of Internet-based tutorials to get you started, and to instruct you on any particular detail or HTML feature that you’re interested in.
Another way to “learn” HTML is simply to create you website using a web-authoring program, and examine the HTML code behind it. We’ll talk about a few of the leading web-authoring programs later in this article.
Do I Need To Learn It?
Strictly speaking, you don’t need to become an HTML expert to build and administer your businesses website. Many of the most popular tools for website construction include powerful capabilities (including many that most websites may never utilize). As an added benefit, some of these programs are available at no cost.
Since the HTML that serves as the backbone of a website is basically just text, any text editor (including Microsoft’s Notepad) can be used to create a website. Even though writing HTML code directly in a text editor can eventually help you to better understand what’s going on “under the hood”, spending the time necessary to become a hardcore HTML coder might simply not be an option.
In contrast, there are also popular programs that make it much easier to create your website layout and design through graphical user interface. These programs do the heavy lifting, and will automatically assemble the HTML code based on the design you make.
Dreamweaver
Adobe Dreamweaver is one of the leading commercial web design software packages now available. Dreamweaver has a good reputation within the Web design community is very rich in features and produces a very
On the other hand, Dreamweaver is expensive, compared to other commercial options. In addition, many feel that because there are so many features and functions available in the program, it can be intimidating for new users and designers.
Expression Web
Microsoft’s Expression Web (the successor to the venerable FrontPage software) is Microsoft’s web authoring tool and is considered to be one of the leading web design tool available today.
Expression Web has many (if not most) of the same tools as are available in Dreamweaver, and boasts strong integration with Microsoft’s other design and infrastructure products, such as Visual Studio, SharePoint, and the Office suite of products. In addition, Expression Web’s menu structures and look-and-feel will be familiar to users of other Microsoft Office products, which can make it easier for those already accustomed to Microsoft products.
Note, however, that the source code that Expression Web generates is sometimes not as clean as that created by Dreamweaver (or coded directly into HTML using a simple text editor), so this may result in some problems (or at least some additional time required) if you decide to use Dreamweaver to modify a page that was created in Expression Web. In addition, some page elements (such as tables) can require additional work if created in one program and then edited in another.
Nvu
For those who want to create relatively simple websites, without some of the fancy features that are available with Dreamweaver and Expression Web might wish to consider the open source product Nvu. Nvu has a graphical user interface like Dreamweaver and Expression Web, and is very efficient at making much HTML coding easier and quicker. As an open source product, Nvu is free of charge, and relatively well supported by its user community.
Web-Based Programs and Templates
Finally, be aware that there are a number of web-based authoring programs (such as Homestead) and template services available. These options often require very little effort in terms of design and coding, and are generally available at very reasonable prices. Keep in mind, however, that because most templates are or have been available to other users, you might wind up with a design that is not unique, or doesn’t provide your website with a sufficiently distinct identity.
How to Move Forward
At the end of the day, any Web site authoring tool may have their own advantages and disadvantages. Before committing the crime authorize any particular package, take a little time to try any online or download a trial version of the package. The key decision is to determine the current and future needs, balance your budget this point. In selecting a particular tool will not be with you always use the same tools, in the future, to make a deliberate decision to begin to help you avoid spending time to make corrections and adjustments to the road.

Browser-based games have come a long way. Basically, a browser-based game is played on a Web browser. The difference between a browser-based game and other computer and video games is that there is no need to install, software and client-side, only a web browser is required. Web browser plug-ins for a plug-in based web browser game. Among the web-browser plug-ins, Flash Player, Unity, Java and Shockwave. Most browsers these days, you have the option to install this plug-in, if you have not already installed.
The Advent of DHTML
Into the 20th century, 90's, Document Object Model Level 2 technology, the terminal development. This allows it to be run in a browser without it is necessary to install the game on third-party plug-in plug-in development. Document Object Model, CSS, and JavaScript used a combination of these browsers to write games. This combination is known as Dynamic HTML (DHTML).
DHTML and its Uses
DHTML viewer, the image of the menu, so you must roll back to a normal use in drop-down. DHTML viewer can also be used to produce sprite animations Akushongemubesu. These games can be further developed Ajax programming techniques.
Server Side Scripting
These days, server-side scripting is used for the creation of more and more games. These include scripting languages such as Java, Python, Perl, ASP, PHP and Ruby. Basically, the user's browser sends HTML code to be interpreted. Ajax has been adopted by some of them, allowing the user to enable immediate response to the action taking place, to recognize online. This also serves to enhance the visual appeal of the game and keep the attention of users for an indefinite period. Every day, new innovations are taking place in Web-based browser games, as they are constantly refined and updated.
Wap and the Golden Age of Wireless
A golden age of wireless is coming ... really! Despite the proliferation of cell phones and PDAs, very few handheld devices are currently being used to access the Internet and fewer still are used as a conduit to access Information Management Systems.
Today's wireless landscape is still nascent - standards are far from being established and competing systems are in a battle for mind and market share. And the battlefield is littered with the blooded bodies of yesterday's heroes.
I have been designing websites since 1996. In the beginning, it was easy. Someone called me with a project, they sent me the content for their website, which I would then upload to Microsoft Frontpage or a text editor, insert some HTML tags for formatting and some graphics to make the site colorful, and the job was finished.
The wireless revolution changed everything. Almost every electronic device now comes equipped with access to the web and email. Palm tops, laptops, cell phones, even computer screens installed in automobiles are now connected to the internet. The web browsers and operating systems installed on these wireless devices are often very different from what is installed on an ordinary desktop PC.
Many elements of the HTML programming language are not compatible with some of these wireless platforms. As a result, web design has completely changed. Cross-platform programming languages and specifications have been created so that websites can be viewed on any PC or wireless gadget.
Now you have a basic understanding of how and why the program has changed, you are briefly introduced in this article, WAP (wireless application protocol) to be prepared. WAP is an open international standard applications, the use of wireless communications. Its main application is to enable mobile phone or PDA to the Internet.
Before we begin to discuss Wireless Application Protocol, you should first know a little bit about a language called XML. It is a language that enables programmers to define data without telling the web browser how to display it, because XML files are simple text files. As a result, XML data can be displayed on any web browser. This is significant, because as we have already established, wireless web browsers have a hard time with HTML. XML solves this dilemma by putting data in a format that be displayed across all platforms.
WAP browser, the browser running on wireless devices, such as mobile phones. WAP protocol to understand WML (Wireless Markup Language), which is written in XML. In addition to XML, WML using some JavaScript, which is called the reference manual. However, JavaScript coding does not actually directly in WML page, it is to use the script URL, must be compiled into byte code on the server before the JavaScript can be run in the browser's wireless reference.
Wireless markup language uses tags, like HTML. However, the tags are case sensitive. The most important day, which is used, the card tag. WAP pages are known as decks, and they consist of a series of cards that between the opening and closing tags of each card containing sandwich. The maps within the document are then connected.
When a wireless web browser prepares to present the contents of a web page to the user, it downloads all of the cards in the deck at the beginning when the page first loads, and then is able to display the web page and everything in it without making any additional visits to the server.
In the code, there are generally two main types of tasks and requirements to go to. His mission led to switch to a new label within a deck of cards. The task ahead marker has led to action by switching to the previous access card. The other two types of tasks, it is worth mentioning that the refresh task, which will refresh the screen you are using any refresh, if the variable appears on the screen, and air operations missions, desist from any further action being implemented variables.
There are many other nifty tasks and elements that are used in WML such as the timer element. An example of the timer element in action would be to cause a message that is generated by a task in one of the cards to appear on the screen for 3 seconds before disappearing and moving on to the next card in the deck.
If you make a life as a web designer, you must learn in order to create WML pages for WAP-enabled browser. If you're not on a website so that it can be displayed on a wireless computer program, then your customers will be very unhappy. Wireless Internet use is constantly increasing. Not the creation of Web sites that can actually be displayed across all platforms is tantamount to career suicide.
If you are not familiar with Wireless Markup Language, I recommend that you enroll in some courses on a local computer programming institute, or buy some tutorials online. The syntax for the WML language is not too complicated, so if you already have extensive web design experience, learning the language should be relatively easy.
Object-oriented Javascript by Packt Publishing
The book, Object-Oriented JavaScript by Packt Publishing shows how to create scalable, reusable high-quality JavaScript applications and libraries using the concepts of object-oriented programming.
JavaScript is the language of the browser, but it is also used heavily in many other environments: server-side programming, desktop applications, application extensions and widgets. It's a pretty good deal: you learn a language and then code all kinds of different applications. While this book is a chapter specifically to be on the web browser environment including DOM, events have given, and AJAX tutorials, the rest is for all other environments.
This book treats JavaScript as a serious object-oriented language that shows you how robust build maintainable, and powerful libraries and applications. Along the way, we cover many of the recent innovations such as AJAX, JSON, and interesting design and programming patterns. After reading this book you will be prepared ace your JavaScript job interview, and even with a few bits that did not impress the interviewer might know. You should read this book if you want to take a position, your JavaScript skills to a new level of complexity.
The book requires no prior knowledge of JavaScript and works from the ground up to give you a thorough grounding in this powerful language. If you already know some JavaScript, you can find a lot of eyes, can opener, as you discover what you can do the language.
This book takes a do-it-yourself approach when it comes to writing a code, because the best way to really learn a programming language is by writing code. You are to type code into Firebug console to see the way it works and then changes, and encouraged to play with him. There are practice questions at the end of each chapter to help verify what you have learned.
