Question about this content?
MSDN article on FOLDERFLAGS Enumerated Type tells that when the FWF_FULLROWSELECT 0×00200000 (Windows Vista and later) bit is set, when an item is selected, the item and all its sub-items are highlighted. However, in my Windows 7 system, the FWF_FULLROWSELECT wasn’t set, yet the full row select feature is still enabled. It appears that Windows 7 doesn’t honor the 0×00200000 bit. Perhaps Raymond Chen or someone from the MS Shell team can provide an expert insight on this?
