Remarks

Use the AllowDownload property to control whether files can be downloaded.

An end-user can download a file manager file using the toolbar download button or context menu Download item, whose availability depends on the AllowDownload property value.

Toolbar Download Button

The download button is displayed in the toolbox if the FileManagerSettingsToolbar.Items collection contains an object of the FileManagerToolbarDownloadButton type. In this case, the AllowDownload property specifies the button’s availability.

When the FileManagerSettingsToolbar.Items collection is empty, the AllowDownload property specifies the download button visibility.

Context Menu Download Item

The download item is displayed in the context menu if the FileManagerSettingsContextMenu.Items collection contains an object of the FileManagerToolbarDownloadButton type, or if the FileManagerSettingsContextMenu.Items collection is empty. The AllowDownload property specifies the item availability.
