FileType Object (ExFileView)

The FileType object holds a set of attributes like: font attributes, color, icons, that are applied for files/folders that match the object's Pattern property. You can use any pattern to build a new FileType, like *.bmp *.jpg a*.exe ????.exe and so on. A rule defined by one FileType object is not applied to the current folder, if the Apply method of FileType object, or the Apply method of FileTypes object is not invoked. The FileType' attributes are applied also, if the control is refreshed, or if the user changes the browsed folder. If the FileType object has the From and To set, the FileType object is applied only if the files/folders were changed between From and To dates. In this case, the ExFileView control runs new threads in the background, that looks recursively for any file that matches the FileType's pattern property and was updated in the given interval. When one of this file is found the rule is applied. Using threads the ExFileView control will never lock your application.
