Is there any API like when window context menu propprty method? As windows calculates size very fast, there should be any API like this.

Not in my information. There needs to be a class(article) for this requirement. So you should understand there is no such API.

You are right. I checked the call stack using process explorer while the size is been updated in the property sheet. It is using some function called
SizeThreadProc()in theshell32.dll. May be if we can figure out the prototype of the funcion, it will be a nice hack. :) -

Looks like callback function. Must be adding up size of individual file in folder structure.
