Preventing the directory from changing

[shx]

Can someone help?

I have the tree portion of the fm file browser turned off.

I am showing the files and folders in a particular directory..

I do not want to allow the use to open a folder and drill down into the folder. How can I prevent this from happening.

I know I could do the DirectoryChanged subroutine to change it back to what it was but the user sees the window changing back and forth , not so nice.

I am sure there must be a way of disabling the click so that the folder should not open and the directory should not change..

Thanks

You can remove folders and show only files by setting the ViewConents property to "FilesOnly". For example:

fmSetFileBrowserProperties "FileList1" "ViewContents=FilesOnly;ShowTree=No"

If you want to show folders, but not allow the user to navigate below a certain point, you can use the fmSetRootDir action.

This is what I want

you can use the fmSetRootDir action

This will stop the user from navigating to a parent folder, I am looking for something that will not allow the double click to drill down into a folder.

there is a subroutine that captures the double click but it only works when click on a file not a folder

The only way to prevent someone from opening a sub folder (other than the DirectoryChanged subroutine) is to not show them using the ViewContents=FilesOnly option.
