cxShellObjectInternalAbsoluteVirtualPathPrefix Constant

In This Article

Represents the absolute virtual path prefix.

#Declaration

Delphi
const cxShellObjectInternalAbsoluteVirtualPathPrefix = '::{9C211B58-E6F1-456A-9F22-7B3B418A7BB1}';

#Remarks

Use the cxShellObjectInternalAbsoluteVirtualPathPrefix constant to access a virtual shell item. Virtual shell items have no physical analogs. Examples of virtual shell objects are: network printers, networked computers, Control Panel applications, Recycle Bin, and My Computer.

The cxShellObjectInternalAbsoluteVirtualPathPrefix constant provides absolute access to virtual shell items regardless of the current folder opened within a shell control.

The following code example demonstrates how to access the Control Panel shell item:

Delphi
cxShellListView1.AbsolutePath := cxShellObjectInternalAbsoluteVirtualPathPrefix + '\My Computer\Control Panel';
