My issue is not in the navigation bar but in the tvwFolders UltraTree in the "Infragistics FileExplorer CS.zip" sample. I have the navigation bar in this defaulting but since the UltaTree logic starts with Desktop and My Computer I need the code to change this to start with something like "C:\Downloads".

I`m not sure that I understand what is your issue. At the begining we are talking about UltraNavigationBar and how to set initial path. I do not understand what is your issue with UltraTree and what exactly doesn`t work in the "Infragistics FileExplorer CS.zip" sample.

Let me know if you have any questions.

My issue is not in the navigation bar but in the tvwFolders UltraTree in the "Infragistics FileExplorer CS.zip" sample. I have the navigation bar in this defaulting but since the UltaTree logic starts with Desktop and My Computer I need the code to change this to start with something like "C:\Downloads".

private void PopulateRoot()

        {

// Add Desktop Node to the tree

UltraTreeNode desktopNode = this.tvwFolders.Nodes.Add("Desktop", "Desktop");

            desktopNode.Override.NodeAppearance.Image =

this.IconManager.GetBitmap(IconName.Desktop);

            desktopNode.Override.ExpandedNodeAppearance.Image =

this.IconManager.GetBitmap(IconName.Desktop);

// Set up the root location of the navigation bar as the Desktop location

UltraNavigationBarLocation desktopLocation = this.unbFolders.RootLocation;

            desktopLocation.Key =

"Desktop";

            desktopLocation.Settings.Appearance.Image =

this.IconManager.GetBitmap(IconName.Desktop);

// Don't include the text of the Desktop location in the full path of it's children.

// This is so that children of the Desktop and My Computer locations have the correct path

// like Windows Explorer. For example, "C:\Program Files" is a complete path.

// It should not be "Desktop\My Computer\C:\Program Files"

            desktopLocation.IncludeTextInFullPath =

// The tree will be the central driving force of this application, so give the location a

// reference to the corresponding node in the tree.

Please download this sample: UltraNavigatorBarPresetLocation.zip 

Here ia the code:

public partial class Form1 : Form

    {

        public Form1()

        {

            InitializeComponent();

            ultraNavigationBar1.InitializeLocations += new Infragistics.Win.Misc.UltraWinNavigationBar.InitializeLocationsHandler(ultraNavigationBar1_InitializeLocations);

        }

        void ultraNavigationBar1_InitializeLocations(object sender, Infragistics.Win.Misc.UltraWinNavigationBar.InitializeLocationsEventArgs e)

        {

            DirectoryInfo[] dirs = new DirectoryInfo(e.ParentLocation.Key + "\\").GetDirectories();

            foreach (DirectoryInfo dir in dirs)

            {

                e.ParentLocation.Locations.Add(dir.FullName, dir.Name);

            }

        }

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            DirectoryInfo[] dirs = new DirectoryInfo("C:\\").GetDirectories();

            foreach (DirectoryInfo dir in dirs)

            {

                ultraNavigationBar1.RootLocation.Locations.Add(dir.FullName, dir.Name);

            }

            ultraNavigationBar1.NavigateTo("Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\\Common7", true);

        }

    }

Let me know if you have any questions.

I downloaded: I made a new simple sample for you only with your requirements using the code from my previous sample (Infragistics FileExplorer CS.zip)

Where in the code did you make the change? Or did I download the wrong file?
