Windows Explorer View

Hi,
I am trying to build a tree with boxes and arrows something similar to the Windows Explorer. While I am able to draw the tree (with folders and sub folders), the tree drawn is kind of big and has diff. style; I want to produce a tree that looks 100% similar to the Windows Explorer tree view..

Is there any sample or could you give me some code to make the flowchart produce the exact style as that of Windows Explorer?.

Thanks,
Ganesh

Hi,

There is the "DirTree" example installed with FlowChart.NET that does something like what you need. It uses the  bordered tree layout style to create a tree similar to the explorer one. It even creates some folder-like shapes to represent directories on the disk.

Hi Stoyan,
I did see the "DirTree" sample. It does show the folders and subfolders in tree view but did does not show in the SAME style as that of Windows Explorer. What I mean is that - the style should be exactly same as that of Windows Explorer..

The tree in the "DirTree" demo is so big and does not reflect 100% as that of Windows Explorer.. How should I change the style of the tree ? to reflect Wndows explorer style.

Thanks,
Ganesh

Do you mean you need the +/- icon on the left, then the folder icon in the middle and text on the right ?

Here is a modified DirTree sample that uses folder icons and displays the text on the right:

The +/- button does not look that good over the arrow on the left, so it is hidden. A tree branch can be collapsed/expandeed by clicking the folder icon.
