FILENAME property

Applies to

acShortcut component.

Declaration

property FILENAME: String;

Description

The FILENAME property specifies the name of shortcut file, to read the information from the shell link (.LNK file). At once after pointing the FILENAME to the shortcut, the acShortcut component will read all shortcut information to fill other properties with determinated values.

The FILENAME property is an alternative way to read the shortcut information and does the same as LoadFromFile method. However, unlike the LoadFromFile, the FILENAME property works either at run- or design-time, so you can play with the component specifying the .LNK files and reading shortcut information even at design-time.
