PItem |
The pointer to the item identifier list (PIDL) of the currently displayed folder. |
#Remarks
The Microsoft Shell API identifies an object by its PIDL. A full PIDL uniquely identifies an object in the Shell namespace. The path information stored in a PIDL starts from the desktop shell item and contains item IDs of all intermediate folders.
Call the GetItemAbsolutePIDL
function to obtain the full PIDL for a shell item in the currently displayed folder if you work with the Shell API directly.
