Property Value

Type	Description
FileManagerFolder	A FileManagerFolder object that is the selected folder.

Remarks

Use the SelectedFolder property to get the currently selected folder in the folder container. Note that only one folder can be selected in the folder container at the same time. You can customize the appearance of the selected folder, using the folder’s FileManagerFolderStyle.SelectionActiveStyle and FileManagerFolderStyle.SelectionInactiveStyle properties, or common for files and folders, the FileManagerItemStyle.SelectionActiveStyle and FileManagerItemStyle.SelectionInactiveStyle properties.

Example

The code below demonstrates how you can show information about folder contents in a label.

C#

public string ItemsNumberToString(int count, string item) {
        if (count != 1) item = item + "s";
        return count.ToString() + " " + item;
}
protected void ASPxFileManager1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
        int FileCount = ASPxFileManager1.SelectedFolder.GetFiles().Length;
        int FolderCount = ASPxFileManager1.SelectedFolder.GetFolders().Length;
        ASPxFileManager1.JSProperties["cpLabelText"] = "The " + ASPxFileManager1.SelectedFolder.Name + " folder contains " + ItemsNumberToString(FolderCount, "folder") + " and " + ItemsNumberToString(FileCount, "file");
}
