Properties

Attributes read/write, IFileSystemItem

Provides the attributes (FILE_ATTRIBUTE_*) for the file or folder.

IDL	`[propget] HRESULT Attributes([out, retval] unsigned long* pValue) [propput] HRESULT Attributes([in] unsigned long newValue)`
.NET	`UInt32 Attributes[get, set]`

Basename read-only, IFileSystemItem

Provides the name of the file or folder, without any path prefix.

IDL	`[propget] HRESULT Basename([out, retval] BSTR* pValue)`
.NET	`String Basename[get]`

FullPath read-only, IFileSystemItem

Provides the fully qualified path to the file or folder within the plugin’s file system.

IDL	`[propget] HRESULT FullPath([out, retval] BSTR* pValue)`
.NET	`String FullPath[get]`

Location read-only, IFileSystemItem

Provides the path to the file or folder. This should not include any trailing path separator characters.

IDL	`[propget] HRESULT Location([out, retval] BSTR* pValue)`
.NET	`String Location[get]`

Methods

Delete IFileSystemItem

Deletes the file or folder. For folders, the bRecursive argument is used to control whether the folder should be removed if it contains files or folders.

IDL	`HRESULT Delete( [in] VARIANT_BOOL bRecursive)`
.NET	`void Delete( Boolean bRecursive)`

bRecursive
If True, the folder represented by this interface should be removed along with its content. If False, the folder should only be removed if it does not contain any files or folders.
