    ViewFilesDialog ??

    I may be missing something obvious here, but is there some
    straightforward way, using a .Net Winform control in VB2005, of
    displaying the contents of a folder as a file listing with the option
    - eg via a right-click menu - to delete one or more files? (I want to
    present the user with the contents of a fairly obscure,
    program-specific folder without them needing to use eg Windows
    Explorer as a separate action.)

    My immediate reflex was to use the common dialog control but then I
    realised that I don't specifically want to open a file nor save one so
    the exact layout of the dialogs for these two options isn't ideal.

      Start with a ListView control and add whatever functionality you wish.

          Yes, I did wonder if that was the only option - it's just another form
          and block of code to write and debug, whereas the File CD controls are
          pretty much off-the-shelf. But it does seem to be a weakness of the CD
          controls that there's no simple View Files option with right-click
          menus enabled as in WE - there are more things one commonly wants to
          do with files than just open or save.

          Thanks anyway.
