Converts a handle to a HBITMAP structure to an Image instance. If the size given is lesser than 256 pixels in width and height, the alpha channel is preserved.

Checks if the given attributes apply to the current objects

Use this function to get information about the columns, which the Explorer uses in the details view. Provides the default alignment and the default width of a column, like Explorer would use it.

Returns the text to show for the currently active item in a certain column.

Returns the text which would be displayed in the Details view of the Windows Explorer as String and Variant.

Returns the Windows Shell IDataObject interface for the currently active object wrapped into an instance of type DataObject.

For a given Windows 7+ library, this function returns the default save path.

Returns the domain name of the currently active object.

Returns which drag effects are possible for the currently active object.

Implemetation of IEnumerable.GetEnumerator

Returns the ShColumnID for the given shell column number.

Returns the Windows shell display name of the currently active object.

Returns the thumbnail image of the currently active shell object in the requested size.

Asynchronously extracts the thumbnail image of the currently active shell object in the requested size. Only for folders on Vista or later the size will always be quadratic with side length being the smallest of either p_Size.Width or p_Size.Height, to avoid a stretching - use the synchronous call GetThumbnailBitmap(Size) if you'd like to explicitly specify the dimensions
