Members

dwSize

Type: DWORD

dwMask

Type: DWORD

A DWORD value specifying which folder attributes to read or write from this structure. Use one or more of the following values to indicate which structure members are valid:

FCSM_VIEWID

Deprecated. pvid contains the folder's GUID.

FCSM_WEBVIEWTEMPLATE

Deprecated. pszWebViewTemplate contains a pointer to a buffer containing the path to the folder's WebView template.

FCSM_INFOTIP

pszInfoTip contains a pointer to a buffer containing the folder's info tip.

FCSM_CLSID

pclsid contains the folder's CLSID.

FCSM_ICONFILE

pszIconFile contains the path to the file containing the folder's icon.

FCSM_LOGO

pszLogo contains the path to the file containing the folder's thumbnail icon.

FCSM_FLAGS

Not used.

pvid

Type: SHELLVIEWID*

The folder's GUID.

pszWebViewTemplate

Type: LPTSTR

A pointer to a null-terminated string containing the path to the folder's WebView template.

cchWebViewTemplate

Type: DWORD

If the SHGetSetFolderCustomSettings parameter dwReadWrite is FCS_READ, this is the size of the pszWebViewTemplate buffer, in characters. If not, this is the number of characters to write from that buffer. Set this parameter to 0 to write the entire string.

pszWebViewTemplateVersion

Type: LPTSTR

A pointer to a null-terminated buffer containing the WebView template version.

pszInfoTip

Type: LPTSTR

A pointer to a null-terminated buffer containing the text of the folder's infotip.

cchInfoTip

Type: DWORD

If the SHGetSetFolderCustomSettings parameter dwReadWrite is FCS_READ, this is the size of the pszInfoTip buffer, in characters. If not, this is the number of characters to write from that buffer. Set this parameter to 0 to write the entire string.

pclsid

Type: CLSID*

A pointer to a CLSID used to identify the folder in the Windows registry. Further folder information is stored in the registry under that CLSID entry.

dwFlags

Type: DWORD

Not used.

pszIconFile

Type: LPTSTR

A pointer to a null-terminated buffer containing the path to file containing the folder's icon.

cchIconFile

Type: DWORD

If the SHGetSetFolderCustomSettings parameter dwReadWrite is FCS_READ, this is the size of the pszIconFile buffer, in characters. If not, this is the number of characters to write from that buffer. Set this parameter to 0 to write the entire string.

iIconIndex

Type: int

The index of the icon within the file named in pszIconFile.

pszLogo

Type: LPTSTR

A pointer to a null-terminated buffer containing the path to the file containing the folder's logo image. This is the image used in thumbnail views.

cchLogo

Type: DWORD

If the SHGetSetFolderCustomSettings parameter dwReadWrite is FCS_READ, this is the size of the pszLogo buffer, in characters. If not, this is the number of characters to write from that buffer. Set this parameter to 0 to write the entire string.
