IPersistFolder3 Interface ()

IPersistFolder3 Interface

Extends the IPersistFolder and IPersistFolder2 interfaces by allowing a folder object to implement nondefault handling of folder shortcuts.

IPersistFolder3 Members

GetCurFolder Gets the ITEMIDLIST for the folder object.
GetFolderTargetInfo Provides the location and attributes of a folder shortcut's target folder.
Initialize Instructs a Shell folder object to initialize itself based on the information passed.
InitializeEx Initializes a folder and specifies its location in the namespace. If the folder is a shortcut, this method also specifies the location of the target folder.

Remarks

Namespace extensions implement this interface if they need to perform nondefault handling of folder shortcuts.
Applications do not normally use this interface directly.
In addition to the listed methods, IPersistFolder3 also inherits the methods of IPersist.
In Microsoft Windows versions earlier than Windows Vista, this interface was declared in Shlobj.h.
