TdxCustomShellTreeView.GetNodeAbsolutePIDL(TdxTreeViewNode) Method

Obtains a Shell API identifier for the specified tree node.

#Declaration

Delphi
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.
