Re: can this be done with some kind of shell extension?
Good morning Peter. Welcome to Microsoft Newsgroup Support Service! My name
is Jialiang Ge [MSFT]. It's my pleasure to work with you on this issue.
My understanding of the post is: you wonder how to customize the property
dialog for files (or some certain types of files) in Windows Explorer to
display customized information. Please point it out if I misunderstand your
meaning.
Windows Shell provides a set of Shell Extension Handlers that allows us to
customize file icon, thumbnail, property dialog (we also call it "Property"
property sheet), context menu, etc. "Property sheet handler" is in one of
them. It enables us to replace or add property tabs (also called as "page").
"Property sheet handler" was first introduced in the MSDN article:
MSDN: Creating Shell Extension Handlers
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb776797(VS.85).aspx
then it's particularized in:
MSDN: Creating Property Sheet Handlers
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb776850(VS.85).aspx
By reading the above two documents, we will have a theoretical basis of the
property sheet handlers. To practice the theory, there are a few excellent
step-by-step examples for your references:
Codeproject: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Writing Shell Extensions - Part V
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/shell/shellextguide5.aspx
Property Sheet Example
http://www.shellplus.com/examples/property-sheet-example.html
The codeproject one has a series of articles for writing shell extensions
(Part 1-9). They are very valuable learning resources if you are interested
in other aspects of the technology.
Please let me know if you have any other concerns, or need anything else.
Regards,
Jialiang Ge (jialge@online.microsoft.com, remove ¡®online.¡¯)

Thank you Jialiang, I think the property sheet handler is exactly what I'm
looking for.
