TypeDescription
Boolean A boolean expression that determines whether the control is refreshed while a file or folder is changed, moved, or renamed.

Determines if the control auto updates files/folders if the user changes the folder structure in the background. If the AutoUpdate property is True, the control receives notification messages each time the folder structure is changed - for example, in another Explorer window that is running. If the user or another program changes the folder structure , the control will update itself accordingly.  If the AutoUpdate property is False, the changes in the folder will be updated next time when the control is refreshed. Call the Refresh method to update the control's content. The control has tow different ways of updating the current list: by refreshing, or by applying the changes only. If the ChangeNotification property is True, the control applies only the changes in the browsed folder. Use the BrowseFolderPath property to specify the path of the browsed folder.
