|
|
FileView follows the "Hide File Extensions for Known File Types" setting in Windows Explorer - if it is ON, FileView hides the extension of a file (for example, 'notes.txt' is displayed as simply 'notes').
To force FileView to always show the extension irrespective of the OS setting, use the following code in the OnAfterItemAdd event:
[C++]
Code: | void CFilViewVCDlg::OnOnAfterItemAddFileviewctrl1(LPDISPATCH Item)
{
CListItem item;
item.AttachDispatch(Item,FALSE);
// Only show extensions for non-folders belonging to the file-system
AttributeTypes attr = (AttributeTypes)item.GetAttributes(FileSys| Folder);
if((attr & FileSys)!=0 && (attr & Folder)==0)
{
item.SetText(item.GetDisplayNameEx(FIVForParsing | FIVInFolder));
}
} |
[VB6]
Code: | Private Sub fileVw_OnAfterItemAdd(ByVal Item As FileViewControl.IListItem)
' Only show extensions for non-folders belonging to the file-system
Dim attr As AttributeTypes
attr = Item.Attributes(AttributeTypes.FileSys Or AttributeTypes.Folder)
If (((attr And AttributeTypes.FileSys) <> 0) And ((attr And AttributeTypes.Folder) = 0)) Then
Item.Text = Item.GetDisplayNameEx(FIVDisplayNameFlags.FIVForParsing Or FIVDisplayNameFlags.FIVInFolder)
End If
End Sub |
