If the Option( exHideFileExtensionsForKnownFileTypes ) property is True, the control displays the file name according to the Windows Explorer option "Hide File Extensions For Known File Types". For instance, if the Windows Explorer option "Hide File Extensions For Known File Types" is checked, the control control hides file extensions for known file types, else the file extension is visible.

Boolean expression

exSizeFormat5 Specifies the format to display the Size column. You can use the Option(exSizeFormat) property to indicate whether the Size column should displays the size of files in GB (GigaBytes), MB (MegaBytes), KB (KiloBytes) or Bytes. The Option(exSizeFormat) property can be a BIT combination of the following flags:
  • 1 indicates the file size in bytes (Bytes)
  • 2 indicates the file size in kilo-bytes (1 KB = 1024 Bytes)
  • 4 indicates the file size in mega-bytes (1 MB = 1024 KB )
  • 8 indicates the file size in giga-bytes ( 1 GB = 1024 MB )

For instance, if the Option(exSizeFormat) is 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 (=15), the size column may display Bytes for files with the size less than 1 KB, Kilo-Bytes for files with the size less than 1 MB, Mega-Bytes for files with the size less than 1 GB, and GB files. In other words a file of 100 Bytes, will display 100 Bytes, or a file of 29,038,225,408 Bytes, will display 27.04 GB. By default the Option(exSizeFormat) is 2 ( KB, in other words the size column is displayed in KB ).
