IShellLinkDataList interface (shobjidl_core.h)

Exposes methods that allow an application to attach extra data blocks to a Shell link. These methods add, copy, or remove data blocks.

Inheritance

The IShellLinkDataList interface inherits from the IUnknown interface. IShellLinkDataList also has these types of members:

Methods

The IShellLinkDataList interface has these methods.

IShellLinkDataList::AddDataBlock Adds a data block to a link.
IShellLinkDataList::CopyDataBlock Retrieves a copy of a link's data block.
IShellLinkDataList::GetFlags Gets the current option settings.
IShellLinkDataList::RemoveDataBlock Removes a data block from a link.

Remarks

The data blocks are in the form of a structure. The first two members are the same for all data blocks. The first member gives the structure's size. The second member is a signature that identifies the type of data block. The remaining members hold the block's data. There are five types of data block currently supported.

Data block structure	Description
EXP_DARWIN_LINK	The link's Windows Installer ID.
EXP_SPECIAL_FOLDER	Special folder information.
EXP_SZ_LINK	The target name.
NT_CONSOLE_PROPS	Console properties.

This interface is not implemented by applications.
