Folder.Title property

Contains the title of the folder.

This property is read-only.

Syntax

strTitle = Folder.Title

Property value

A string containing the object's title.

Remarks

Note

Not all methods are implemented for all folders. For example, the ParseName method is not implemented for the Control Panel folder (CSIDL_CONTROLS). If you attempt to call an unimplemented method, a 0x800A01BD (decimal 445) error is raised.

 

Examples

The following example uses Title to retrieve the title of the folder holding the user's program groups (usually "Programs"). Proper usage is shown for JScript, VBScript, and Visual Basic.

JScript:

<script language="JScript">
    function fnFolderTitleJ()
    {
        var objShell    = new ActiveXObject("shell.application");
        var objFolder;
        var ssfPROGRAMS = 2;
        
        objFolder = objShell.NameSpace(ssfPROGRAMS);
        if (objFolder != null)
        {
            alert(objFolder.Title);
        }
    }
</script>

VBScript:

<script language="VBScript">
    function fnFolderTitleVB()
        dim objShell
        
        set objShell = CreateObject("shell.application")
        if (not objShell is nothing) then
            dim objFolder
            dim ssfPROGRAMS
            
            ssfPROGRAMS = 2
            set objFolder = objShell.NameSpace(ssfPROGRAMS)
            if (not objFolder is nothing) then
                alert(objFolder.Title)
            end if
            set objFolder = nothing
        end if
        set objShell = nothing
    end function
 </script>

Visual Basic:

Private Sub fnFolderTitleVB()
    Dim objShell    As Shell
    Dim objFolder   As Folder
    Dim ssfPROGRAMS As Long
            
    ssfPROGRAMS = 2
    Set objShell = New Shell
    Set objFolder = objShell.NameSpace(ssfPROGRAMS)
    If (Not objFolder Is Nothing) Then
        Debug.Print objFolder.Title
    End If
    Set objFolder = Nothing
    Set objShell = Nothing
End Sub
