OpenFileDialog and Thumbnails...

I've seen this question posted a couple of times, but haven't seen an
answer.

Anyone have an idea how to make an openFileDialog appear in thumbnail view
when it opens?

Obviously there is no publicly exposed way of doing this... Well

The OpenFileDialog derives from FileDialog. FileDialog has a protected
property called Options. I'm not sure if there is anything promising there.
Seems like its just the internal way of changing CheckPathExists ,
CheckFileExists , etc...

You might try to send WIN32 messages to the window to change the view. I
can't find much on that either.

Note. Thumbnail view is only supported on 2k and xp.

the dotnet OpenFileDialog brings up a window that looks similar to a File Explorer window, and indeed depending on some user settings may list files in a details view, thumbnails view etc. Is there some property to set so that this may be done by my app rather than depending on whatever state the user left? for instance, can i force OpenFileDialog to give the user thumbnails when the dialog is shown? a similar question would be how...

When the dialog first opens, the filter works correctly, and only the files I want to see appear in the file list box. When I change the filter to one of the other filters, all the files in the list disappear. If I then manually type a filter into the "Filename" textbox, then the files appear and the filter...

The following event is assigned to a button on my form which, when prompted, displays the dialog. public...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
