If I have quick access items listed on the Windows File Explorer, is there any way to get them to show up on RadOpenFolderDialog?

Hello, Paul,

File dialogs provide an option to specify a list of directories to be displayed to the left of the main pane similar to Windows' Quick Access view. To enable this functionality, you should add a list of directories to the control's CustomPlaces collection. More information you can find here: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/controls/file-dialogs/features/custom-places 

RadOpenFolderDialog openFolderDialog = new RadOpenFolderDialog();
openFolderDialog.CustomPlaces.Add(@"C:\Program Files\");
openFolderDialog.CustomPlaces.Add(@"C:\Program Files (x86)\Progress");
openFolderDialog.CustomPlaces.Add(@"C:\Windows\System32");
openFolderDialog.CustomPlaces.Add(@"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET");
openFolderDialog.CustomPlaces.Add(@"C:\Windows\Globalization");
openFolderDialog.CustomPlaces.Add(@"C:\Windows\Help");
openFolderDialog.ShowDialog();

I hope this helps. Should you have other questions do not hesitate to contact me.

Regards,
Nadya
