TdxPSFileBasedExplorerFolder Class

Represents a folder displayed by a TdxPSFileBasedExplorer component.

Declaration

TdxPSFileBasedExplorerFolder = class(
    TdxPSExplorerFolder
)

Remarks

Both file-based and data-aware explorer components arrange report items into the hierarchical folders structure. In file-based explorers, items are stored as files. Folder objects represent the actual folders on a drive. Thus, a TdxPSFileBasedExplorerFolder object represents an actual folder on a drive.

TdxPSFileBasedExplorerFolder objects can be obtained using the FindFolderByFullQualifiedDirName method of a file-based explorer component. Once a folder object has been obtained, you can access its child folders using its Folders and FindFolderByFullQualifiedDirName properties.

The TdxPSFileBasedExplorerFolder class is the direct descendant of the TdxPSExplorerFolder class. The latter class implements the common functionality of folders used by the file-based and data-aware explorer components. The TdxPSFileBasedExplorerFolder object inherits that common functionality and introduces properties and methods specific to file-based explorers. Note that the TdxPSFileBasedExplorerFolder class also serves as the base for the TdxPSFileBasedExplorerRootFolder class that represents the explorer’s root folder.
