This property is used to determine custom flags that are applied to the control determining its appearance. You can use the ModifyFolderFlags method to add or remove specified flags to the current view. The most common option is single or multiple selection.

The following VB/NET sample shows how to enable multiple selection within the view ( /NET Assembly ):

Exshellview1.ViewFolderFlags = Exshellview1.ViewFolderFlags And Not exontrol.EXSHELLVIEWLib.FolderFlagsEnum.SingleSel

The following C# sample shows how to enable multiple selection within the view ( /NET Assembly ):

exshellview1.ViewFolderFlags = exshellview1.ViewFolderFlags & ~((int)exontrol.EXSHELLVIEWLib.FolderFlagsEnum.SingleSel);

The following VB/NET sample shows how to enable multiple selection within the view ( /COM on Window.Forms ):

AxExShellView1.ViewFolderFlags = AxExShellView1.ViewFolderFlags And Not EXSHELLVIEWLib.FolderFlagsEnum.SingleSel

The following C# sample shows how to enable multiple selection within the view ( /COM on Window.Forms ):

axExShellView1.ViewFolderFlags = axExShellView1.ViewFolderFlags & ~((int)EXSHELLVIEWLib.FolderFlagsEnum.SingleSel);

The following VFP sample shows how to enable multiple selection within the view ( /COM on Window.Forms ):

thisform.Exshellview1.ViewFolderFlags = bitand(thisform.Exshellview1.ViewFolderFlags, bitnot(64) )

The following C++ sample shows how to enable multiple selection within the view ( /COM on Window.Forms ):

m_shellView.SetViewFolderFlags( m_shellView.GetViewFolderFlags() & ~64 ); 

The following VB.NET sample shows how to get the selected files/folder for /NET assembly version:

Dim i As Long = 0, s As String = ""
With Exshellview1
    .Objects.Get(exontrol.EXSHELLVIEWLib.ObjectTypeEnum.SelectedItems)
    With .Objects
        For i = 0 To .Count - 1
            Dim sel As exontrol.EXSHELLVIEWLib.exshellobject = .Item(i)
            ' * The sel indicates the shell object being selected *
            s = s + sel.Name + vbCrLf
        Next
    End With
End With
If s.Length > 0 Then
    MessageBox.Show(s, "Selection")
Else
    MessageBox.Show("Empty", "Selection")
End If

The following C# sample shows how to get the selected files/folder for /NET assembly version:

string s = "";
exshellview1.Objects.Get(exontrol.EXSHELLVIEWLib.ObjectTypeEnum.SelectedItems);
for ( int i = 0; i < exshellview1.Objects.Count; i++ )
{
    exontrol.EXSHELLVIEWLib.exshellobject sel = exshellview1.Objects[i];
    // * The sel indicates the shell object being selected *
    s = s + sel.Name + "\r\n";
}
if (s.Length > 0)
    MessageBox.Show(s, "Selection");
else
    MessageBox.Show("Empty", "Selection");
