TShellTreeView.FileSortType property
Indicates the sort type used for items (tree nodes) on the tree view control.
Declaration
property FileSortType:;Description
FileSortType is a
TFileSortType property used to
indicate the sort order for tree nodes in the
Items property. The
default value for the property is
fstNone, and indicates the default
sort order is used for tree nodes. See
TFileSortType for information about the
enumeration values and their meanings.
Changing the value in FileSortType causes the Items
property to be cleared, and tree nodes to be reloaded using the sort order
needed for the property value. If Root has not been assigned,
PopulateWithBaseFiles is used to fill the Items property. If Root has a
non-empty value, an internal routine is called to recreate the root node using
the required path. The value in Root is expanded and used to create the
remaining nodes for the tree. This includes filling TShellTreeNode-specific
information for the TTreeNode instances in Items. If the path to the Selected
tree node is still valid for the file system, it is restored to the Path
property.
No action other than setting the property value is performed in the method at design-time.
The value in FileSortType is used in the PopulateTreeNodeWithFiles method and passed as an argument to an internal method used to load the files in a given path name.
Use the OnSortCompare event handler to implement the sort / compare routine needed when FileSortType is set to fstCustom.
PopulateWithBaseFiles on
Windows platforms. The entries are logical drive letters processed in the
order provided by the file system.
