Getting the longfilename from a file
<![CDATA[
Question:
How do I get the long file name of a file or directory from the
short file name?
Answer:
You can use the Win32_Find_Data member of TSearchRec to extract
this information.
Example:
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
SearchRec : TSearchRec;
Success : integer;
begin
Success := SysUtils.FindFirst('C:\DownLoad\dial-u~1.htm',
faAnyFile,
SearchRec);
if Success = 0 then begin
ShowMessage(SearchRec.FindData.CFileName);
end;
SysUtils.FindClose(SearchRec);
end;
