| Displaying a property
page for a file.
The following code provides an easy to use function that displays the properties for a file, folder or drive. This is the same dialog box that Windows Explorer displays when viewing an object's properties. |
uses ShellAPI;
function ShowProperties(hWndOwner:
HWND; const FileName: string): Boolean;
var Info: TShellExecuteInfo;
begin
{
Fill in the SHELLEXECUTEINFO structure }
with Info
do
begin
cbSize
:= SizeOf(Info);
fMask
:= SEE_MASK_NOCLOSEPROCESS or
SEE_MASK_INVOKEIDLIST or
SEE_MASK_FLAG_NO_UI;
wnd
:= hWndOwner;
lpVerb
:= 'properties';
lpFile
:= pChar(FileName);
lpParameters
:= nil;
lpDirectory
:= nil;
nShow
:= 0;
hInstApp
:= 0;
lpIDList
:= nil;
end;
{
Call Windows to display the properties dialog. }
Result := ShellExecuteEx(@Info);
end;
