Components for searching

Question / Problem

Is there a ShellBrowser component that supports searching for files by criteria such as file type or size?

Answer / Solution

You may either use the FileList or the SearchEdit control.

For the FileList please take a look at the "JamSearch" example that is shipped with all ShellBrowser editions.

While the FileList can be used standalone, use the ShellSearchEdit control for your users to input search phrases. Search results will be presented in a ShellListView or ExplorerBrowser control linked with the same ShellControlConnector. Check the component in the JamExplorer or ExplorerBrowser sample project.
