Common Functionality in Browsing Dialogs and Controls

The tree view in the browsing dialogs displays the number of node sub-branches and sub-leaves (when known) in the parentheses next to the node name.

The browsing dialogs also have a “traffic light” status indicator in the lower right corner, allowing for quick recognition of the status by the user.

The hierarchical browsing dialogs have Back and Forward buttons, allowing better navigation experience in some scenarios. The buttons behave similarly to those commonly found in Internet browsers.

Depending on the active node, the user can also invoke various context-dependent commands, as described in Context Commands in Browsing.

In many browse dialogs and controls, the user can use a Search box to enter the text to search for, choose various search options, and navigate in the tree and/or list to nodes that fulfill the search criteria: Search in Browsing.
