Btw do you know how to parse a date returned by GetDetailsOf?
Couldn't find any examples in C++. I actually can see digits
representing date and time as a part of the string, but I would
prefer to use some winapi function to translate it into some
time type instead of manually parsing the result.
You could look at passing the str.pOleStr field in the
SHELLDETAILS you got from GetDetailsOf to VarDateFromStr. It will
give you a DATE value that VariantTimeToSystemTime will convert
to a SYSTEMTIME from which you can get the years, months, days
etc.
For example:
SHELLDETAILS details;
GetDetailsOf(pidl, 3, &details);
DATE date;
VarDateFromStr(details.str.pOleStr, LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, 0,
&date);
SYSTEMTIME st;
VariantTimeToSystemTime(date, &st);
auto year = st.wYear;
auto month = st.wMonth;
You can convert that into a more D-friendly SysTime object using
SYSTEMTIMEToSysTime from the std.datetime package.
