TdxCustomShellTreeView.AbsolutePIDL Property

Specifies the identifier of the currently accessed folder.

#Declaration

Delphi
property AbsolutePIDL: PItemIDList read; write;

#Property Value

Type Description
PItemIDList

The pointer to the item identifier list (PIDL) of the currently accessed 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.

Use the AbsolutePIDL property only if you work with the Shell API directly. Call the GetNodeAbsolutePIDL function to obtain the full PIDL for a tree node.
