Open property window of a folder in C#
Comment

To open the property window of a folder in C#, you can make use of the ShellExecute
function from the Windows API. Here's an example:
csharpusing System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.IO;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
string folderPath = "C:\\Path\\To\\Folder";
// Check if the folder exists
if (Directory.Exists(folderPath))
{
// Open the property window
Process.Start("explorer.exe", $"shell:::{folderPath}");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Folder does not exist.");
}
}
}
In the above example, you can replace "C:\\Path\\To\\Folder"
with the actual path of the folder you want to open the property window for. The Process.Start
method is used to launch the explorer.exe
process with the shell:::
argument followed by the folder path. This syntax opens the property window for the specified folder.
Note that this solution works for Windows operating systems.
