A wrapper class for ITEMIDLIST

Introduction

This is a class helps you manage ITEMIDLIST easier. The CItemIDList class holds a pointer to a ITEMIDLIST structure (the pointer is in CItemIDList::m_pidl). It also has public static member functions which you can use as global functions.(Version 2.0)

Constructors

`CItemIDList(LPCTSTR pcszPath);`	Construct with a path string.
`CItemIDList(LPITEMIDLIST pidl);`	Construct with `LPITEMIDLIST`.(Copy it,and free on destruct)
`CItemIDList(CItemIDList& iidl);`	Construct with another class object.
`CItemIDList(void);`	Construct class instance with `m_pidl` empty.

Member functions

`int GetIconIndex(void) const;`	Get folder item's icon index in system image list.
`BOOL GetDisplayName(LPTSTR pszBuf,DWORD dwFlags=SHGDN_NORMAL) const;`	Retrieve pidl's dislpay name.
`CItemIDList Duplicate(UINT nCount=-1) const;`	Copy a pidl due to the count number.
`inline BOOL IsEmpty(void) const;`	Whether `m_pidl` is `NULL`.
`CItemIDList GetAt(UINT nIndex) const;`	Return a relative pidl at specified index.
`BOOL Create(LPITEMIDLIST pidlf);`	Create from a `LPITEMIDLIST`.
`inline UINT GetCount(void) const;`	Get pidl count.
`inline UINT GetSize(void) const;`	Get pidl's size,in byte.
`inline void Empty(void);`	Free `m_pidl` and set to `NULL`.
`void GetPath(LPTSTR pszPath) const;`	Retrieve full path.(only available for full-quality pidl)
`inline HRESULT GetUIObjectOf(REFIID riid,LPVOID* ppOut,HWND hWnd=NULL);`	Retrieve other shell interface.Same as IShellFolder::GetUIObjectOf.
`inline void Split(LPSHELLFOLDER& lpsf,CItemIDList& ciid) const;`	Get IShellFolder interface and the tail pidl cell from a full-quality pidl.
`CItemIDList GetLastPidl(void) const;`	Retrieve the tail pidl cell.
`void GetToolTipInfo(LPTSTR pszToolTip,UINT cbSize) const;`	Retrieve the tooltip info of the m_pidl.
`void Attach(LPITEMIDLIST pidl);`	Attach a pidl.
`LPITEMIDLIST Detach(void);`	Detach a pidl.

Operators

`CItemIDList operator+(CItemIDList& piidl);`	Concat two pidls.
`operator LPITEMIDLIST(void) const;`	Get `m_pidl`.
`operator LPCITEMIDLIST(void) const;`	Get `m_pidl` convert to LPCITEMIDLIST.
`const CItemIDList& operator=(CItemIDList& ciidl1);`	Copy from another class instance.
`const CItemIDList& operator=(LPITEMIDLIST pidl);`	Copy from a `LPITEMIDLIST`.
`operator+=(CItemIDList& ciidl);`	Add a new pidl to `m_pidl`'s tail.
`BOOL operator==(CItemIDList& ciidl);`	Query whether two pidl's name is same.
`CItemIDList operator[](UINT nIndex);`	Return a relative pidl at specified index.(Same as `CItemIDList::GetAt(UINT nIndex)`)

Example

#include "ItemIDList.h"
#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream.h>

//Some test code...
void main()
{
	char szFile[MAX_PATH];
	ZeroMemory(szFile,MAX_PATH);

	OPENFILENAME info;
	ZeroMemory(&info,sizeof(info));

	info.lStructSize=sizeof(info);
	info.lpstrFile=szFile;
	info.hwndOwner=NULL;
	info.nMaxFile=MAX_PATH;

	if(GetOpenFileName(&info))
	{
		CItemIDList item(szFile),item2;
		char szName[MAX_PATH];
		item.GetDisplayName(szName);
		cout<<szName<<endl;

		item.GetToolTipInfo(szName,MAX_PATH);
		cout<<szName<<endl;

		item2=item;
		item2.GetPath(szName);
		cout<<szName<<endl;

		item2=item[item.GetCount()-1];
		item2.GetDisplayName(szName);
		cout<<szName<<endl;

		item2=item.GetAt(0);
		item2.GetDisplayName(szName);
		cout<<szName<<endl;

		CItemIDList item3;
		item3=item.Duplicate(item.GetCount()-1);
		item3.GetPath(szName);
		cout<<szName<<endl;

		item3=item.Duplicate(item.GetCount()-1)+item2;
		item3.GetPath(szName);
		cout<<szName<<endl;
	}
}

Enjoy...
