#Declaration

Delphi
function GetPidlName(APIDL: PItemIDList): string;

#Parameters

Name Type
APIDL PItemIDList

#Returns

Type
string

#Remarks

Call this function to obtain file system path of a standard shell item specified via its PIDL. To obtain the identifier (PIDL) of a shell item corresponding to the specified node you can call the GetItemAbsolutePIDL function (for the TcxCustomShellListView) or the GetNodeAbsolutePIDL function (for the TcxCustomShellTreeView class).

Note

The GetPidlName function applies to standard shell items only. For standard and virtual shell items, call the GetPIDLDisplayName function (declared in the cxShellListView unit) instead.
