Hello,

I made a standalone app which uses the "BrowseForFile" method

The issues is, that it doesn´t show the detailed view of the explorer window (see first screenshot)

 

If I open the same folder with the explorer, it shows the detailed view.(see second screenshot)

 

I don´t know if this is my fault or if this is a bug

I use the method with this code

 

PathList = EPDMVault.BrowseForFile(Nothing, EdmBrowseFlag.EdmBws_ForOpen + EdmBrowseFlag.EdmBws_PermitLocalFiles + EdmBrowseFlag.EdmBws_PermitMultipleSel + EdmBrowseFlag.EdmBws_PermitVaultFiles, "SOLIDWORKS files " + "(*.slddrw)|" + "*.slddrw|" + "All Files (*.*)|*.*||", "", "", RootFolder, "Dateien auswählen")

 

Info

EPDM 2018 

Windows 10 Enterprise

Version 10.0.18363

 

Best regards and #thank you for any hints

Heinz

Correct Answer

You pasted the wrong screen shot for the non-Explorer view.  This is not a file browser:

 

 

If what you are seeing is something like this where 'Details' is selected but you only get a list of files and folders:

 

 

it is a bug, and it's still there in 2020.  The fix is here:
