the system provides the implementation of IShellItem via CLSID_ShellItem

Chris_Guzak | Edit | Show History

applications or shell data sources do not create objects that impement IShellitem; instead the system provides this.

this object can be created using SHCreateItemFromIDList() and SHCreateItemFromParsingName() or CoCreate of CLSID_ShellItem.

CLSID_ShellItem implements marshal by value

Chris_Guzak | Edit | Show History

A shell item represents an absolute IDList in the bound state; that is it holds the data source instance object and child IDlist as members to perform its work.

Shellitem also implements marshal by value to enable the efficient use of these objects as interchange currency between COM apartments.

BindToHandler	Binds to a handler for an item as specified by the handler ID value (BHID).
Compare	Compares two IShellItem objects.
GetAttributes	Gets a requested set of attributes of the IShellItem object.
GetDisplayName	Gets the display name of the IShellItem object.
