To open a FileOpen dialog, use the SharpFileOpenDialog static class. You can allow only a single file selection or allow multiple files selection.
using SharpDialogs;
// Select a single file
string? result = SharpFileOpenDialog.ShowSingleSelect(hWndOwner, "Title", "C:\Initial\Directory\");
// Allow multiple files
IReadOnlyList<string>? result = SharpFileOpenDialog.ShowMultiSelect(hWndOwner, "Title", "C:\Initial\Directory\");
SharpFileSaveDialog:
To open a FileSave dialog, use the SharpFileSaveDialog static class.
using SharpDialogs;
string? result = SharpFileSaveDialog.Show(hWndOwner, "Title", "C:\Initial\Directory\");
SharpFolderBrowserDialog:
To open a FolderBrowser dialog, use the SharpFolderBrowserDialog static class. You can allow only a single folder selection or allow multiple folders selection.
using SharpDialogs;
// Select a single folder
string? result = SharpFolderBrowserDialog.ShowSingleSelect(hWndOwner, "Title", "C:\Initial\Directory\");
// Allow multiple folder
IReadOnlyList<string>? result = SharpFolderBrowserDialog.ShowMultiSelect(hWndOwner, "Title", "C:\Initial\Directory\");
SharpProgressDialog:
To show a Progress dialog, use the SharpProgressDialog class. The dialog is closed when the class object is disposed.
There is an option to show the remaining time.
using SharpDialogs;
using var dialog = new SharpProgressDialog(hWndOwner, "My Slow Operation", "Please wait while the current operation is cleaned up", true);
uint complete = 0;
uint total = 1000;
dialog.ResetTimer();
dialog.SetProgress(complete, total);
for (uint index = 0; index < total; index++)
{
if (dialog.HasUserCancelled())
{
break;
}
dialog.SetLine1("Header");
dialog.SetLine2("I'm processing item " + (index + 1));
Thread.Sleep(100);
complete++;
dialog.SetProgress(complete, total);
}
SharpInputBox:
To prompt a InputBox dialog, use the SharpInputBox static class.
using SharpDialogs;
string text = SharpInputBox.Show("Enter a message", "Title", "Default response");
SharpTaskbarProgress:
To set the progress in the taskbar for the window.
using SharpDialogs;
SharpTaskbarProgress.SetState(hWndOwner, SharpTaskbarStates.Normal);
SharpTaskbarProgress.SetValue(hWndOwner, progress, max);
SharpTaskbarProgress.SetState(hWndOwner, SharpTaskbarStates.NoProgress);

using SharpWpfAboutBox;
new SharpAboutBox(this).ShowDialog();
