Manipulate Files and Folders in Dialogs

Posted Feb 7, 2007 | by Jason Faulkner  

We are all quite familiar with the common dialog boxes which prompt you to save and open files and folders, but did you know you can manipulate files and folders from inside the dialog boxes?

For example, when you are browsing for a file to open, inside of the open dialog box you can right click on a file and do any of the following:
- Rename it.
- Delete it.
- Copy-Paste it somewhere else.
- Open it (outside of the dialog box you are in).
- View properties.
- Basically, anything you can do in Windows Explorer.

You can also manipulate folders in the same fashion.
