Show the Standard File Properties Dialog

If your program has an Explorer shell-style interface, you probably want to supply the standard File/Properties dialog.
Do this by using the ShellExecuteEX API function:

Private Type SHELLEXECUTEINFO
cbSize as Long
fMask as Long
hWnd as Long
lpVerb as String
lpFile as String
lpParameters as String
lpDirectory as String
nShow as Long
hInstApp as Long
lpIDList as Long
lpClass as String
dwHotKey as Long
hIcon as Long
hProcess as Long
End Type

Private Declare Function ShellExecuteEX Lib _
"shell32" (lpSEIAs SHELLEXECUTEINFO) As Long
Private Const SEE_MASK_INVOKELIST=&HC

Private Sub ShowFileProperties(ByVal aFile as String,h as Long)
Dim sei as SHELLEXECUTEINFO
sei.hWnd=h
sei.lpVerb="properties"
sei.lpFile=aFile
sei.fMask=SEE_MASK_INVOKEIDLIST
sei.cbSize=len(sei)
ShellExecuteEX sei
End Sub
