Accessing shell properties

Question / Problem

How can read out file attributes or properties directly from an element displayed in one of the ShellBrowser components such as the ShellListView?

Answer / Solution

You can read out file attributes or shell properties using the ItemIdList. You can retreive values either as variant or converted as display value.

For ShellBrowser Delphi components please check documentation here:

IItemIdList.GetPropertyValue

IItemIdList.GetShellInformation

For ShellBrowser.NET Components:

ItemIdList.GetPropertyVariantValue

ItemIdList.GetPropertyDisplayValue
