I am looking for a touchscreen-friendly file picker for Windows 10. In Windows 8 and 8.1, i used FileOpenPicker:
FileOpenPicker fileOpenPicker = new FileOpenPicker();
fileOpenPicker.FileTypeFilter.Add(".wma");
fileOpenPicker.FileTypeFilter.Add(".mp3");
fileOpenPicker.SuggestedStartLocation = PickerLocationId.VideosLibrary;
fileOpenPicker.ViewMode = PickerViewMode.List;
IReadOnlyList<StorageFile> files = await fileOpenPicker.PickMultipleFilesAsync();
which produced a nice interface (example), but in Windows 10, the same code displays the same interface as OpenFileDialog would (example), which is very hard to use on a touchscreen. Does anyone know how to get Windows 8/8.1 style FileOpenPicker in Windows 10, or knows an alternative?
In my app, I asked the user to select the folder (with a standard folder picker which isn't very easy to touch), but after this I showed my own custom control that shows the files in the folder and allows them to select from tactile way.
