Get Properties Window Of A File

[Swift]

Well, I need to get the windows properties window, like if you right-clicked on it, and clicked 'Properties' I want that window to come up, of a file like:

$File="C:\randomfile.txt"

ShellExecute("Iamproperties", $File)

Or is this a dll call? Thanks guys!

Like this?

Dim $sFile    = "boot.ini"
Dim $sFolder    = "c:\"

Dim $oShell  = ObjCreate("Shell.Application")

GetVerbs()


Func GetVerbs()
    Dim $sList = ""
    
    $oFolder            = $oShell.NameSpace($sFolder)
    $oFolderItem        = $oFolder.ParseName($sFile)
    $oFolderItemVerbs   = $oFolderItem.Verbs
    

    For $i = 0 To $oFolderItemVerbs.Count - 1
        $sList = $sList & $i & ": " & $oFolderItemVerbs.Item($i).Name & @LF
    Next
    
    MsgBox(0, "", $sList)
EndFunc

No, but thank you, is what I mean, is I want the actual WINDOWS properties window to come up, like if you right-clicked on a file and clicked: Properties, if no one knows, I might have some luck looking on the internet for a exact viewer (displays exactly whats happening every second) But thanks for your help guys.

I've been searching since 1am...is this not possible via the command line? Google cannot find anything...

Yes! Thats what I need! But, how do I use that...? Why couldn't I find that, I searched Properties, windows properties, cmdline properties...

[LarryDalooza]

Global Const $SHOP_FILEPATH = 0x00000002

$a = DllCall("shell32.dll","int","SHObjectProperties","hwnd",0,"dword",$SHOP_FILEPATH, _

"wstr","c:\windows\explorer.exe","wstr",0)

WinWait("explorer.exe Properties")

WinWaitClose("explorer.exe Properties")

edit: I use DLLExp to explorer shell32.dll.

Yes! Thank you, but why exactly doesn't this work, (I didn't make this)

It should get the name, and the directory...and then use the properties window to show it.

$Pro = StringReplace(_GUICtrlListView_GetItemText($listView, $lvItems[1], 0), """", """""")
    DllCall("shell32.dll","int","SHObjectProperties","hwnd",0,"dword",0x00000002, _
"wstr",$Pro,"wstr",0)

Looks like stringreplace is putting quotes in... No Quotes should go to this function ...

so msgbox the $Pro before the DLLCall .. to make sure there are no quotes going to Dllcall ... then delete the msgbox.

It needs the directory too, it's just sending: Hijack This...hmmm....hmmm...! I'll figure it out, thanks though!

WOOT GOT IT! I needed: $Dir & $Pro go me!
