I can access all the attributes through Shell32 or System.IO.Files, whichever is quicker or more efficient I'm not sure.
But I don't need to access the attributes, I'm trying to get ahold of the text fields on the Summary tab page.
You know, Name, Keywords, Comments, etc.
I want to be able to read a word out of the keywords, or even sort them based on their Keyword.
Someone sent me a .dll for vb6 (which I'm about to look into), and told me to use the Shell.Application.
In .Net I don't see a Shell Application, only Shell32, which has TONS on folders and everything else, but I couldn't find anything on this.
I'll try out the dll, but isn't there a way to do it IN VB.net? I mean, you should have full access to the windows environment.
The only thing I'm left to thinking is API. I looked at AllAPIs.net and nothing jumped out at me for this situation.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
