IResolveShellLink interface (shobjidl_core.h)

Exposes a method that enables an application to request that a Shell folder object resolve a link for one of its items.

Inheritance

The IResolveShellLink interface inherits from the IUnknown interface. IResolveShellLink also has these types of members:

Methods

The IResolveShellLink interface has these methods.

Remarks

Namespace extensions implement this object to support link resolution.

This interface is not typically used by applications.

With namespace extensions, shortcut objects (.lnk files) implement the essential functionality of IShellLink::Resolve by calling IResolveShellLink::ResolveShellLink. IResolveShellLink is exported by a link resolution object that is created on request by the Shell folder.

To retrieve a pointer to a link resolution object's IResolveShellLink interface:

• For an object that is contained by a folder, call the folder's IShellFolder::GetUIObjectOf method and request an IResolveShellLink pointer (IID_IResolveShellLink).
• For the folder object itself, call the folder's IShellFolder::CreateViewObject method and request an IResolveShellLink pointer (IID_IResolveShellLink).
