Hi,

I have some functionality to do with files and folders like setting properties of files and folders.

I have to take some decision at run time like after encountering hidden files etc. And i want to ask a user to take decision on the file, and i have to apply the same decision on rest of the file with same settings.

What is the best way to do this?

For example:
----------------
Visual Studio Source Safe will ask user while getting latest version to override local files with VSS version and provide an option to "Apply to all items".

Thanks in advance.

Solution 1

1. Use a dialog to ask the user for a decision.
2. Act on that decision.

Your question does not make it clear what the problem is with this.

There is no problem, The functional logic is done by using worker thread, so can i popup the dialog from there and get the input or is there any alternative to it.

What happens when you try? I'm not sure exactly what you are asking here.
