How retrive full path with file name or folder name from ShellTreeView/ShellListView

Question

Sir, I create a project, where I use ShellTreeView, ShellListView, ListView. Now I drag folder from ShellTreeView and files from ShellListView. Now I want to retrieve file name including full path (like: c:\abc\file.txt) or folder (like C:\abc). For retrieving the path I use a command button and a text box. What will the code?

you can use the TShellListView.SelectedFolder and TShellTreeView.Path properties to retrieve the path and filename selected.

this sample uses the onchange event and assign the path into an EditText.

procedure TForm1.ShellListView1Change(Sender: TObject; Item: TListItem;
  Change: TItemChange);
begin
  Edit2.Text := ShellListView1.SelectedFolder.PathName;
end;

procedure TForm1.ShellTreeView1Change(Sender: TObject; Node: TTreeNode);
begin
 Edit1.Text:= ShellTreeView1.Path;
end;
