The following example uses ParseName to create an object representing the folder item Clock.avi in the C:\Windows folder. Proper usage is shown for JScript, VBScript, and Visual Basic.
JScript:
<script language="JScript">
function fnFolderObjectParseNameJ()
{
var objShell = new ActiveXObject("shell.application");
var objFolder = new Object;
objFolder = objShell.NameSpace("C:\\WINDOWS");
if (objFolder != null)
{
var objFolderItem = new Object;
objFolderItem = objFolder.ParseName("clock.avi");
if (objFolderItem != null)
{
//Add code here.
}
}
}
</script>
VBScript:
<script language="VBScript">
function fnFolderObjectParseNameVB()
dim objShell
dim objFolder
set objShell = CreateObject("shell.application")
set objFolder = objShell.NameSpace("C:\WINDOWS")
if (not objFolder is nothing) then
dim objFolderItem
set objFolderItem = objFolder.ParseName("clock.avi")
if (not objFolderItem is nothing) then
'Add code here.
end if
end if
set objFolder = nothing
set objShell = nothing
end function
</script>
Visual Basic:
Private Sub btnParseName_Click()
Dim objShell As Shell
Dim objFolder As Folder
Set objShell = New Shell
Set objFolder = objShell.NameSpace("C:\WINDOWS")
If (Not objFolder Is Nothing) Then
Dim objFolderItem As FolderItem
Set objFolderItem = objFolder.ParseName("clock.avi")
'Add code here.
Debug.Print "passed"
Set objFolderItem = Nothing
End If
Set objFolder = Nothing
Set objShell = Nothing
End Sub
