Prevent a file from being opened

Question / Problem

How can I prevent a file from being opened in the TJamShellList?

Answer / Solution

You can use the OnBeforeShellCommand event and use the AllowExecute parameter to prevent the execution. The Command parameter when opening a file will be "default" or "open".

Alternative, assign the OnKeyDown event with this content:
if Key = vk_Return then Key := 0;

To prevent the automatic handling of a double click, simply add an OnDblClick event handler that contains only exit; .
