TcxCustomShellTreeView.AbsolutePIDL Property

Specifies the identifier of the shell item being accessed via the starting folder.

#Declaration

Delphi
property AbsolutePIDL: PItemIDList read; write;

#Property Value

Type

#Remarks

Use this property to specify the identifier of the shell item being accessed via the starting folder. Both virtual and standard shell items can be accessed using identifiers. Note that virtual shell items have no physical analogs – files or folders on hard drives.

You can obtain the node’s identifier by calling the GetNodeAbsolutePIDL function. Call one of the following functions to obtain the identifier’s text representation:
