Hi

I want my app to restore the selected folder in TsShellTreeView when it loads. Getting the selected folder and saving it to the registry is easy enough, but I can’t find a way to restore it.

I’m trying this, which does nothing: (C++ code)

auto path = GetFromRegistry();
if (DirectoryExists(path) || FileExists(path)) {
sShellListView1->Folders[0]->PathName() = path;
}

Is there a way to programmatically set the currently selected file/folder?

From Delphi:
For a ShellTreeView it is Path.
For a ShellListVew it is Root.

I don’t know if they work the same in C++ but it’s a good starting point.

And btw, those components are the same as TShellTreeView and TShellListView. The only difference for AlphaSkins’ one is that they are skinned. You can search the whole web, not just AlphaSkins’ forums for that kind of problems.
