How to get file attributes using unit shlobj ?

[Borneq]

I can walk through folders starting at SHGetDesktopFolder, next I do SHGetSpecialFolderLocation, next FIDesktopFolder.BindToObject and ShellFolder.EnumObjects. I can get path and display name by ShellFolder.GetDisplayNameOf.
But
how can file size and file modification time?
Is struct FILEDESCRIPTOR but i can't find any function that uses it.

You can use IShellFolder.BindToStorage() and then IStorage.Stat() or IStream.Stat().

Or, have a look at IShellFolder2, which has GetDetailsOf() and GetDetailsEx() methods.

Or, consider using IShellItem instead of IShellFolder.  IShellFolder is an old API.  IShellItem2 has GetFileTime() and GetUInt64(PKEY_Size) methods.

Otherwise, you can just use the filesystem API instead, using the path you retrieve from each shell item to call GetFileSize() and GetFileTime(), or GetFileAttributesEx(GetFileExInfoStandard).

In ShellApi unit are SHGetFileInfo functions (is needed path).
I try use newer IShellItem but I don't see IShellItem2, only

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1.     PIShellItem= ^IShellItem;
2.     IShellItem = interface(IUnknown)
3.                ['{43826d1e-e718-42ee-bc55-a1e261c37bfe}']
4.                function BindToHandler(pbc:IBindCTX;bhid:PGUID;RIID:PIID;ppv:ppointer):HResult;Stdcall;          
5.                function GetParent(ppsi:PISHellItem):HResult;Stdcall;
6.                function GetDisplayName(sigdnname:SIGDN;ppszName:LPWSTR):HResult; Stdcall;
7.                function GetAttributes(sfgaomask:SFGAOF;psfgaoAttribs:PSFGAOF):HResult;Stdcall;
8.                function Compare(psi:IShellItem;hint:SICHINTF;piorder:PINT):HResult; Stdcall;
9.                end;

I get it from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tpn/winsdk-10/master/Include/10.0.16299.0/um/ShObjIdl_core.h
if Windows 7 and Windows 8 handle it?

In ShellApi unit are SHGetFileInfo functions (is needed path).

That function does not provide the information you are asking for (file size, modification time, etc).

I try use newer IShellItem but I don't see IShellItem2

Then you will have to define it manually in your own code, based on the definition provided on MSDN, or I'm sure you can find a Pascal translation online if you look around.
