Namespace:  ShellBoost.Core.WindowsShell
Assembly:  ShellBoost.Core (in ShellBoost.Core.dll) Version: 1.8.3.0
Syntax
C#
[FlagsAttribute]
public enum SFGAO
Members
  Member nameValueDescription
SFGAO_NONE0 No attribute is defined.
SFGAO_CANCOPY1 The specified items can be copied.
SFGAO_CANMOVE2 The specified items can be moved.
SFGAO_CANLINK4 Shortcuts can be created for the specified items. This attribute has the same value as DROPEFFECT_LINK. If a namespace extension returns this attribute, a Create Shortcut entry with a default handler is added to the shortcut menu that is displayed during drag-and-drop operations. The extension can also implement its own handler for the link verb in place of the default. If the extension does so, it is responsible for creating the shortcut. A Create Shortcut item is also added to the Windows Explorer File menu and to normal shortcut menus.
SFGAO_STORAGE8 The specified items can be bound to an IStorage object through IShellFolder::BindToObject.
SFGAO_CANRENAME16 The specified items can be renamed. Note that this value is essentially a suggestion; not all namespace clients allow items to be renamed. However, those that do must have this attribute set.
SFGAO_CANDELETE32 The specified items can be deleted.
SFGAO_HASPROPSHEET64 The specified items have property sheets.
SFGAO_DROPTARGET256 The specified items are drop targets.
SFGAO_PLACEHOLDER2048 The specified items are not fully present and recalled on open or access
SFGAO_SYSTEM4096Windows 7 and later. The specified items are system items.
SFGAO_ENCRYPTED8192 The specified items are encrypted and might require special presentation.
SFGAO_ISSLOW16384 Accessing the item (through IStream or other storage interfaces) is expected to be a slow operation. Applications should avoid accessing items flagged with SFGAO_ISSLOW.
SFGAO_GHOSTED32768 The specified items are shown as dimmed and unavailable to the user.
SFGAO_LINK65536 The specified items are shortcuts.
SFGAO_SHARE131072 The specified objects are shared.
SFGAO_READONLY262144 The specified items are read-only. In the case of folders, this means that new items cannot be created in those folders. This should not be confused with the behavior specified by the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY flag. FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY has no meaning for Win32 file system folders.
SFGAO_HIDDEN524288 The item is hidden and should not be displayed unless the Show hidden files and folders option is enabled in Folder Settings.
SFGAO_FILESYSANCESTOR268435456 The specified folders are either file system folders or contain at least one descendant (child, grandchild, or later) that is a file system (SFGAO_FILESYSTEM) folder.
SFGAO_FOLDER536870912 The specified items are folders. Some items can be flagged with both SFGAO_STREAM and SFGAO_FOLDER, such as a compressed file with a .zip file name extension. Some applications might include this flag when testing for items that are both files and containers.
SFGAO_FILESYSTEM1073741824 The specified folders or files are part of the file system (that is, they are files, directories, or root directories). The parsed names of the items can be assumed to be valid Win32 file system paths. These paths can be either UNC or drive-letter based.
SFGAO_HASSUBFOLDER-2147483648 The specified folders have subfolders. The SFGAO_HASSUBFOLDER attribute is only advisory and might be returned by Shell folder implementations even if they do not contain subfolders. Note, however, that the converse—failing to return SFGAO_HASSUBFOLDER—definitively states that the folder objects do not have subfolders. Returning SFGAO_HASSUBFOLDER is recommended whenever a significant amount of time is required to determine whether any subfolders exist. For example, the Shell always returns SFGAO_HASSUBFOLDER when a folder is located on a network drive.
SFGAO_VALIDATE16777216 When specified as input, SFGAO_VALIDATE instructs the folder to validate that the items contained in a folder or Shell item array exist.
SFGAO_REMOVABLE33554432 The specified items are on removable media or are themselves removable devices.
SFGAO_COMPRESSED67108864 The specified items are compressed.
SFGAO_BROWSABLE134217728 The specified items can be hosted inside a web browser or Windows Explorer frame.
SFGAO_NONENUMERATED1048576 The items are nonenumerated items and should be hidden.
SFGAO_NEWCONTENT2097152 The items contain new content, as defined by the particular application.
SFGAO_STREAM4194304 Indicates that the item has a stream associated with it.
SFGAO_STORAGEANCESTOR8388608 Children of this item are accessible through IStream or IStorage. Those children are flagged with SFGAO_STORAGE or SFGAO_STREAM.
