TdxCustomShellTreeView.GetNodeAbsolutePIDL(TdxTreeViewNode) Method

Obtains a Shell API identifier for the specified tree node.

Declaration

function GetNodeAbsolutePIDL(ANode: TdxTreeViewNode): PItemIDList;

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
ANode	TdxTreeViewNode	The tree node that corresponds to the target shell item.

Returns

Type	Description
PItemIDList	The pointer to the item identifier list (PIDL) of the target tree node.

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 GetNodeAbsolutePIDL function to obtain the full PIDL for a shell item in the currently displayed folder if you work with the Shell API directly.
