' A demo of a dozen undocumented Shell32.dll functions
' ====================================================
' Brought to you by:
' Brad Martinez
' btmtz@msn.com
' btmtz@aol.com
' http://members.aol.com/btmtz/vb
' This demo would not have happened if it weren't for the function prototypes
' found at Chris Becke's site:
' http://www.dbn.lia.net/chris/ <chris@dbn.lia.net>
' I thank him for making this information available.
' ====================================================
' All of the Shell32.dll functions demonstrated are exported only by ordinal
' (NONAME) and are not know to be documented by Microsoft. As a result,
' they are most likely not supported by Microsoft and may very well not be
' included in future versions of Shell32.dll. Use them at your own risk.
' Each function's syntax and description was derived and tested solely by
' the author. The functions were also renamed from what may have been
' their original exported name in the debug version of the library, to slightly
' more intuitive names (since only the ordinals are shown in an export dump
' of Shell32.dll). It is suggested that developers who decide to implement
' these functions, maintain the names that are used here to avoid confusion.
' Here is the list:
' Ord Hidden name param bytes Renamed to
' === ========== ========= =========
' 59 _RestartDialog 12 SHRestartSystemMB
' 60 ? 4 SHShutDownDialog
' 61 ? 24 SHRunDialog
' 62 _PickIconDlg 16 SHChangeIconDialog
' 31 _PathFindExtension 4 SHGetExtension
' 32 _PathAddBackslash 4 SHAddBackslash
' 34 _PathFindFileName 4 SHGetFileName
' 40 _PathIsRelative 4 SHPathIsRelative
' 43 _PathIsExe 4 SHPathIsExe
' 45 _PathFileExists 4 SHFileExists
' 52 _PathGetArgs 4 SHGetPathArgs
' 92 _PathGetintPath 4 SHGetShortPathName
' IMPORTANT NOTE: Unlike most documented Win32 API functions, the
' functions that accept string parameters (all but SHShutDownDialog),
' expect strings in either the ANSII or Unicode character set, depending
' on the Windows platform the function is called from (i.e. no separate
' ANSII "A" or Wide "W" function versions).
' In order for a function to return an accurate value (and reduce the potential
' for a fatal exception), the function must be passed ANSII strings when
' called in Win95, and must be passed Unicode strings when called in WinNT.
' Note the explicit use of the global "g_fIsWinNT" flag throughout the demo
' and the corresponding call to VB's StrConv function (equivalent to using the
' MultiByteToWideChar API) that converts ANSII strings to their Unicode
' equivalent when g_fIsWinNT evaluates to True.
' If it is found that any of the information in this demo proves to be inaccurate
' or incomplete, the author would appreciate notification at either of the email
' addresses above so that it can be corrected.
' Thanks and enjoy, Brad Martinez
