The XbpFileDialog object references an encapsulated API object, which only provides few properties and methods. It's very hard to extend this. Take a look at this article:

There is a link in this article, which points to an older MSDN-article about how to do it. To be honest - I wouldn't. ;)

It may be easier to create an own file dialog. All the functions you need a availabe, Directory() maybe the most important function.
Best regards,
