 Getting the longfilename from a file.


How do I get the long file name of a file or directory from the short file name?   

    You can use the Win32_Find_Data member of TSearchRec to extract this information. Example:

    procedure TForm .Button Click(Sender: TObject);
    var
      SearchRec : TSearchRec;
      Success : integer;
    begin
      Success := SysUtils.FindFirst('C:\DownLoad\dial-u~ .htm',
                                    faAnyFile,
                                    SearchRec);
      if Success = 0 then begin
        ShowMessage(SearchRec.FindData.CFileName);
      end;
      SysUtils.FindClose(SearchRec);
    end;
