How would I provide my user an "up" (the folder hierarchy) thumb that, Onclick, navigates to the parent folder.

I looked for a property setting but couldn't find one.

No problem putting such a function in a toolbar or popup menu, but many users will be accustomed to seeing a separate thumb for that very thing in other software.

Hi Sarasota

There is not a property for that as most applications have moved away from that model (even though I personally thought it was quite a useful navigation tool).

It should be fairly easy to add. In the OnFolderChanged event (this is in v5.2.1 so email me for it) add:


sUpFolder := ExtractFilename( ExcludeTrailingBackSlash( IEFolderMView.Folder ));
IEFolderMView.InsertImage(0, sUpFolder, True, iedtNone, iedtNone, iedtFilename, False);
IEFolderMView.ImageBottomText[0].Caption := '..';

Thank you Nigel! I will send you my email.

I must say that, in addition to the functionality offered by ImageEN, the implementation is extremely clear and easy to use. Kudos.
