Display info on file in explorer
-
Hello, I have an application which have a file format use for its files. In the explorer, then I display the "Properties" of a file of my application, I didn't see any information of my file. I want to put some informations in my file (version, user, description, bitmap, etc) which can be view in the explorer when the user display the properties of my files. How I can do ? I have search in the msdn without success... And, if someone know, how I can associate a bitmap to a file (like bmp, jpg, MAX file, etc...)

If you're talking about the extra pages that Microsoft Office files show in the Explorer properties window (e.g. the Summary Page), that is achieved using a Property Set in an OLE Structured Storage file (otherwise known as a compound storage file) - it's a fairly complicated topic, so I suggest you read the following articles: OLE Property Sets Exposed (MSDN)[^] to find out what Property Sets are... And The Summary Information Property Set (MSDN)[^] to find out about the property set responsible for storing summary information. Hope that helps.
