As every control from UI for WPF, RadFilePathPicker comes with a set of pre-defined themes. Of course, if you choose to do so, you can design your own templates for a completely custom look.

Key Features

• Dialog Type: The control allows you to choose the type of file dialog, which is opened. You can learn more about that in the [Dialog Types]({%slug radfilepathpicker-dialog-types%}) article.

• RoutedUI commands: Check the [Commands]({%slug radfilepathpicker-commands%}) article for more information on the exposed commands.

• IconTemplateSelector: The [IconTemplateSelector]({%slug radfilepathpicker-icontemplateselector%}) allows you to easily change the displayed icon depending on the FilePath.

• Enhanced Routed Events Framework: The events system of the control will help your code become even more elegant and concise.

tip Get started with the control with its [Getting Started]({%slug radfilepathpicker-getting-started%}) help article that shows how to use it in a basic scenario.
