Thread: IShellFolder

How do I get an IShellFolder for a given folder name? I tried this:

Code:

	IShellFolder *pDesktop;
	HRESULT hr = SHGetDesktopFolder(&pDesktop);
	if(FAILED(hr))
		throw hresult_exception(hr);

	LPITEMIDLIST piil;
	OLECHAR *pDir = new OLECHAR[dir.size()];
	wcscpy(pDir, dir.c_str());
	hr = pDesktop->ParseDisplayName(0, 0, pDir, 0, &piil, 0);
	delete[] pDir;
	if(FAILED(hr))
		throw hresult_exception(hr);

	IShellFolder *pMine;
	hr = pDesktop->BindToObject(piil, 0, IID_IShellFolder, (void **)&pMine);
	pMalloc->Free(piil);
	if(FAILED(hr))
		throw hresult_exception(hr);

dir is a std::wstring.
The debugger shows the contents of dir as "G:\download\temp", which should be correct.

However, ParseDisplayName returns E_FAIL.
Does anyone know the reason? I need this for a nice tool that lets you apply a regular expression replace to each filename in a folder (great when downloading or ripping music).

Thanks in advance

Never mind, I called the app incorrectly.
