DisplayInDebugConsole

Opens a file and prints all its shell properties to the Debug console.

Syntax: DisplayInDebugConsole [ FilePath ]

FilePath

optional A String containing the full path of the file whose shell properties are printed. If omitted or empty, a file dialog is displayed so the user can choose a file.

The procedure opens the specified file through FilePropertyExplorer and iterates over every property in the returned FileProperties collection, printing the system property name and its localized value to the Debug console with Debug.Print.

When FilePath is omitted or empty, FilePropertyExplorer.BrowseAndOpenFile is called instead of FilePropertyExplorer.OpenFile, which displays a file dialog.

Example

This example prints the shell properties of a specific file by passing a path, then repeats the call without a path to let the user choose a file interactively.

' Print properties for a known file.
DisplayInDebugConsole "C:\Windows\notepad.exe"

' Print properties for a file chosen via dialog.
DisplayInDebugConsole
