Hello...
Is there a way to get its properties of a folder or file, using IShellFolder or IShellFolder2, like name, date modified, type, size?
Similar to Windows 7 Explorer.
I hope you can help me with an example.
Thanks.
Most of infos can be got with FileInfo Class
For directory size, you can see this thread for different methods :
Fastest way to get size of a directory including all files and sub folders
All examples of the link is through a visible path.
But if I wanted to get properties, like, name, date modified, type, size, from a pidl.
would the logic be different?
It is the same thing, as you can convert a pidl to a path (SHGetPathFromIDList or other)
Thank you.
